Problem with Brake Upgrade

Problem with Brake Upgrade
I just bought a '93 Civic hatch which has Integra disc fronts and I think rears (or maybe Si rears). The problem is that the fronts are SUPER sensitive and stop with just a little pedal pressure but the rears hardly squeeze at all. If I pull the emergency brakes, with the car out of gear, I can still push the car. I've adjusted the cable and even replaced the rear pads without change.
I'm wondering if maybe the PO swapped the brake proportioning valve from the Integra also and this is why the fronts are so sensitive?
Any help troubleshooting this issue is appreciated.

exactly
Which prop.valve do you have (take a picture)
Which master cylinder/brake booster do you have
Are you sure it has teg calipers?
Have you properly adjusted the parking brake?
