First check the adjustment of the rear brakes. They should be snug in the drums. You may have to back the emergt. brake cable adj. up. If it is to tight it will pull the shoes off the anchors. You may need to adjust the rod bretween the booster & master cyl.
If the pedal goes down as you set at a light & lose the brakes you may have a bad master cyl. The thin rotors will not cause this. The caliper stays up against the pad.
