Default Brake pedal still feels soft... 93 eg 4 door.

So I'm at a loss. I have bleed the brake a copious amount of time. New front brake calipers/pads. Just replaced the master cylinder (yes I bench bled it). Still feel spongy. Any ideas? The only other thing I can think it might be, is the front brake lines themselves aren't fully supported because it has ksport coilovers with no mounts. Any ideas are appreciated!!

Or do you mean actually how? Just pumping them and releasing with a wrench...

If the rear brakes are drums, having them out of adjustment will cause excessive pedal travel.

They are. How do you go about adjusting them? Never really messed with drums.
