Have you got the calipers on the correct sides. Bleed nipples should be at the top.

have u adjusted the pedal? apparently there's and adjustment on it.

Several people have had this prob and they fixed it like that.

does the pedal hit the floor?

if so there is defo air in the system

u will probably need to bleed the front and the rears together - starting with the drivers rear, then pass rear, drivers front, pass front

and if your using an easi-bleed kit make sure you only crack the bleed nipples open a teeny amount or air can seep back in thru the threads

also makesure nipples are at the top
