Default Brake help needed?

Hi all,

Those that know me will remember I posted about binding rear brakes about a year ago!

Anyway I still have this problem and have covered 1300 miles! I am onto my second set of rear discs and second set of rear pads.
Most of the time the rears are on about 40% and the fronts I don't have a problem with.

I have to date changed all my stainless lines,unions had them pressure bled at a garage and today removed the bias valve to see if that was the problem with no effect?

This is now about to tip me over the edge!

In a nut shell.....both rear calipers have full travel and work really well for the first 6-8 mins of driving and are free! After that time when brakes have been used a bit they bind on?? Both by exactly the same amount

Any advice or help please as I am contemplating taking a hammer to the whole car!

Cheers
Craig
