Front/rear brake balance feels wrong - not enough rear brakes

When I press the pedal moderately hard the front tires howl and eventually the ABS kicks in on the front wheels only. The car doesn't feel like it's stopping very fast. If I continue to press the pedal much, much harder - like 3 times as hard - I can hear the ABS finally kick in for the rear wheels. At that point the car kind of squats down and the car stops pretty fast. It feels to me like the front/rear brake balance is wrong.

Is there a way to adjust the balance? Or is there a separate part that is responsible for establishing the balance? What is the recommended sequence of actions to verify the situation and then fix the car if I'm right a the balance is off?
