It is about a Ford Taurus 94 with ABS.
Both rear brakes get really heat up on a stop and go traffic situation.
I changed the calipers and the brake fluid but the situation did not get changed.
In a normal situation is OK.
Looks the rear portion of the brake system has a delay in releasing the pressure after braking.
What can be more probable cause and what shell I check to find the real problem before changing one by one the whole system as I was suggested by mechanics.

Yes sounds like the brakes aren't releasing all the way. So a crimped line would make that possible. Also check the front brakes and proportioning valve. If the front brakes aren't working properly, that will put a heavier load on the rear brakes. If the proportioning valve is bad, same thing. In both cases you'd notice that it takes longer and more effort to stop.
