Are you still using a stock proportion valve?

Also check your lines. The rubber lines going from the steel line to the calipers can collapse inside.

Get a adjustable proportion valve, the stock valve is not set up properly for a front and rear disc manual brake setup. its probably not sending enough pressure to the rear calipers.
have you done any hard braking to see what wheels lock up first?
