Brakes Squishy 200 1981

Recently changed my front rotors to Brembos and replaced front calipers w/ re-built Girlings and new Volvo factory pads...end result-okay stopping, but squishy pedal feel...especially when at stop sign or red light. AS I have owned this 1981 245 for over 2 years I know something is amiss. Santa Monica Volvo did work and I took it back for a second bleeding, but still same feel...they say it's normal. I've heard that left and right calipers can be mounted on wrong sides and give less then perfect braking...also wonder about Brembos (possible mis-sizing?)...changed master cylinder about 6 months ago so it's new-I do see a little oozing of brake fluid under plastic bottle that sits atop it.
ANY THOUGHTS????????
