The problem is, whenever you stomp on the brakes, the rears lock up immediately. It will spin out easily in the rain and squeal like hell on dry pavement, so slow controlled stops are necessary.

I'm not sure what could be causing this. Before I go tearing apart the system, does this sound familiair to anybody? Whoever replaced lines to the MC didn't coil them underneath the MC, is that an issue?

Thanks and sorry for the noob question.

could be the rear axle seals leaking oil on the drums. also check rear wheel bearings..
