I am struggling through the same issue. I rebuilt all four calipers. I have driven it a couple hundred miles and pads are fully against the rotors (no light visible between them). Have bled & bled & bled the system using all the tricks that I could find on this board (gravity bleed, traditional pump-the-pedal method, beat the calipers with mallet, force the pedal down overnight, seal threads on bleeder screws with grease, etc.). Still have a spongy pedal and little confidence in hard braking situations. Master cylinder was replaced with new one two years ago.

I haven't tried a pressure bleeder yet - that's my next step. Knowing that the master cylinder is only two years old, I'm convinced that there's still air in the system. It's hard to believe it knowing that I've run about 1 gallon through the system!
