Default front brakes not working

So guys, i finally got my car running after a year and now im having brake problems.

So in the front i have DA front knuckles and DA brakes of course and in the back i have done the rear disc swap also from a DA.

Now the problem that i am having is that the front brakes dont work at all. ive driven the car now for about 100 miles and you can tell that the rear brakes are working but the front discs look like they are still new.

All the brake pads are new, new reman calipers, new SS brakes lines, 15/16 mc with stock DX booster, and also a 4040 prop valve. All new parts all the way around.

I've bled the brakes and fluid comes out of the bleeders on the fronts no problem as well as the rears, but when im driving down the road it is a different story.

So any advice on what i should look for? im stumped

are the pistons compressing back into the calipers? and do they extend once put back on make sure that they are then if they arent there could be an obstruction, pinched line, etc etc etc or bad prop valve. master was bench bled i assume make sure its not got a massive air bubble have someone pump the brakes and retrace your lines to figure out where you loose pressure if you even do.

it might actually be your brake booster not applying enough force to force enough fluid through
