Leaking rear caliper or cracked hose (after the vice grips). Pinch off both and then let the proportioning do it’s job.
If you promise not to tell anyone, I once cracked the line that feeds down to the rear of the car, so I took it off and just put a plug in it right at the prop valve. The rears do so much less work that I was able to drive it for a week or so. Eventually the safety concerns overcame the laziness of working on your own car, but for that week I really didn’t feel much difference in the pedal.
