just upgraded the brakes...

I just upgraded the brake system; g60 calipers up front and new stock rears on my 87gti. The brakes were pretty bad beforehand, and I cant tell if the pedal firmness is correct. I'm assuming with this set up and the same brake bolster, a little sponginess is expected? Any thoughts? The brakes have been bleed three times diagonally so far. The car stops fine, and the pedal doesn't hit the floor. But, I noticed the difference right away. My intuition is telling me its a combination of air bubbles and needing an up graded bolster.

It might be air, but your brake master cylinder is probably tired. I think I'd have taken that from the g60 too, provided it fit
'00 Beetle, 1.8t T3S60, Brute Rods, Supertech Valve train (stock cam shafts for now), port and polished small port head, custom FMIC (pain in the a** on a Bug!), Bosch 440cc injectors, 3.5FPR, Catch Can, 2.0 Coils with Iridiums, Wilwood BBK, too much other stuff to list, too much $$ spent.
