crack all your bleeder screws front and back...then let gravity bleed all four lines. Make sure you keep topping up the master cylinder always keep it full....you have to have a lot of air in your system.

did you have this problem with your brakes before you out your new calipers on, is that why you upgraded?

it possible you still have a bad caliper or m/c, at work we went through 4 calipers for an audi before we got one that worked correctly

if you re-used the old copper rings from your old lines, your letting air back in.
also i dont think you have answered this, did you reuse them?

Not true. I can't tell you how many calipers I have installed over the years and re-used the brass/copper o-rings. As a matter of fact, the reason I don't is b/c when I first started doing this way back when, the new o-rings failed so I never changed them since and NEVER has there been a problem.
