I would suspect the master cylinder (slow to bleed issues) or the load bias valve.
When replacing parts you must have total faith in the parts you're using. In the case of the load bias valve you could bypass it (temporarily) to be sure that's not at fault.
I wish you luck with this problem, I suspect the answer will be fairly simple when you find it. Chris
Yes, they have the load valves. We already changed that.
Today the Suzuki official workshop called to tell they have no clue whats wrong. So I dunno, really.
Flexi Pipes changed, valve changed, Abs pump tested, changed with a donor pump. Drums changed,main pump changed, calipers and cilinders checked, fluid changed... I will get a liter of gas and burn the car to ashes. ...
Then all it can be is an internal issue with one part of the hard line to the back, either a bad flare at a joint or something.

To me it keeps coming up master cylinder, don't forget dual circuit braking is estabIshed at that point. You tell tell us the front brakes are good so if the other side of the piston layout is faulty, there's your answer. A good handbrake (as it's not hydraulic) is barely relevant. You say "main pump changed" which I take to mean master cylinder. Changed to what? New part, reconditioned part or dodgy old second hand part? I say again you must be sure of any parts you fit or you will go around in a circle. Changing a master cylinder will never be a popular job as they can take a while to bleed properly. In the past I have back bled them using a motorcycle master cylinder and lever (that's pumping the fluid from the wheel end to the top) but of course requires a good selection of brake spares.
I can tell you are reaching desparation point as you feel you have tried everything.
You haven't, you've missed something. Good luck, Chris
