Default valvoline syntec brake fluid

does anyone else use this? i just changed to syntec the other day and felt a loss in firmness. my gsr has around 75k miles and when i bled it, the usual expected debris came out along with the fluid. i'm guessing because of that, there's more displacement in the lines which needs more volume of fluid to fill? so i made a master cyl. brace and felt a little firmer, but still not as firm as before. i don't know what it is, i've bled the car 3 times already and it still does not feel like how it was. btw, i have speed bleeder. i'm going to bleed it one last time and if it's still the same i'm going to toss the stock bleeders back on adn bleed it the old fashion way, maybe it's the bleeders, who knows. what do you guys think...?

cliffnotes:
changed to speed bleeders
changed to syntec brake fluid
added master cyl. brace
brake doesn't feel as firm as before everything
what's wrong?

TIA

sounds like you need more bleeding.

maybe get some stainless covered lines
