Problem With Rear Brakes

Hi All,

I've recently (250 miles ago) overhauled my rear brakes, rebuilt the calipers, new hard & soft lines both sides, new rotors & pads.

I've bled and re-bled serveral times and it seems that under heavy breaking the fronts will lock up quickly, yet the rears don't.
After a spirited drive the front rotors are scorching hot (as you'd expect) yet the rears are just warm.

I've visually checked the gap between the pad and rotor and can't see daylight so that seems OK. I've also checked for leaks and found none.

Any other suggestions? could my master cylinder be faulty?

Cheers
