You say you have cossie setup...so it should brake OK. Changing rear drums will give you nothing. I'd say remove ABS and put some DS2500 pats and good brake fluid... done

Bin the ABS leave the drums alone. They are quite up to the job at hand. Change hoses for braided and replace the fluid with new stuff and all should be good
