Put on a new(used) front caliper on the drivers side and two new brake line ends. Went through the proper bleeding procedure, but after driving realized that the brakes weren't 100% and spongey. Then re-read the procedure to see that the two pairs of bleeder screws (#'s 5-6 and 7-8 on either side)on the front claipers have to be bleed at the same time (not one after the other, as was done)Would this account for the spongey brakes, I can stop slowly, but not right away.

Thanks
