I don't think you are bleeding the calipers correctly.
"just pushes air and some fluid while bleeding the front brakes"
That means you still have air in the lines.
Keep bleeding... and bleeding... and bleeding... until there are NO more bubbles of air.
Start with the rear passanger side, then the driver front, rear driver, and the passenger front.

Re: no brake pedal pressure (4drEF)
yah, Start with the Farthest brake Caliper from the MC. Then closer, then closer. ur going to have to bleed the **** out of it.
What I usualy do is, Press The brake, keep pressure on it. open The Bleeder, then close, Let the break out slowly. Press the break down, wait a few secs, then open the bleeder agian.
IMO works the best.

Re: no brake pedal pressure (pogiTSI)
my brother was on my S/N, because he gets the car when I fix it.
I cant figure it out because I have none of my stuff here to test the M/C & system, nor do I have my USDM FSM, and I dont really want to spend time on it.
The brakes have been bled correctly, I made sure of that.

Brake systems are VERY straight FWD, Expecialy on our old *** cars. Either theres air, a hole, or busted MC\booster.
I wouldnt think any bad calipers is going to cause soft peddle. I would check the Booster\vacume.

ok, heres what you do, you take your front steering knuckles and mail them to me, and i'll mail you good ones off an si.
jk, seriously, check in the rear wheel wells where the brake lines come out, and see if its rusted. where i live, its a really common problem and results in about what you're saying. good luck.
