Can you post a link? I don't recall having that problem. The biggie I had was installing Baer 6-pot calipers, the OEM banjo bolt was too long and was pressing the piston out. I couldn't get the car to *not* brake, they dragged really badly. Baer sent me a shorter bolt.
I did have a longer pedal after that. The DRM brake spring helped, but there's no getting around the larger piston displacement. They weren't scary, though.
Hmm, well one time they were scary at the dragstrip (braking from 115, they'd give out by around 80), but that was due to the sissy ceramic pads Baer included. A swap to Hawk's cured that.
It does sound like you have air in your lines, though. Also, supposedly it's not a good idea to press the pedal to bleed, as you can move the pedal through longer travel than it experiences normally, and can jack up seals. I dunno how true that is. I use a Mityvac to bleed brakes, and then gravity bleed to get any air that was sucked in around the bleed screw.
