I agree with the others, check your rear brake hoses.

I have a similar problem with my 90. Three years ago after my driver's side rear caliper froze-up, I rebuilt my rear brakes with 2 rebuilt calipers, 2 rotors and new pads (FCP Groton parts). About 6 months ago when inspecting my rear brakes, I discovered that one piston in the driver's side rear caliper (same one!) was stuck. The system had a complete bleed at the time of the original brake job too.

Since the driver's rear rotor is warped, I bought one rebuilt caliper, one rotor and new pads from FCP Groton - strangely the passenger side is fine. Which makes me suspect that the driver's side hose might be bad...However, before I do the brakes this time, I am going to test the driver's side brake hose first!!
