I own a 1992 Jaguar Sovereign which I retrofitted the rear shocks on. I also removed the piping and now my brakes don't work, can you help me?

Yep, the shocks and brakes have nothing to do with each other. You must have cut the wrong line, here is a diagram of the system so you can see what I am talking about. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.
