Pads maybe? We had a weird instance where a customer was running PFC pads from Autozone and had similar issues to yours, however this customer was running Hydro-boost and getting plenty of pressure at the calipers per the gauge kit he bought. Turned out the pads were pre-glazed from the manufacturing burnish process, which turned a respectable coefficient of friction rating pad into what felt like an ice cube sliding across glass. I don't know if you can get some cheapie NAO pads locally for your SSBC calipers, but it could be worth a shot. Worst case scenario is that it doesn't fix the problem and you can rule out one more thing that it isn't.
