Bleed the system, make sure there are no air bubbles.

upgrading to stainless steel brake lines will also maintain higher pressures under heavy braking b/c the lines do not expand as they heat up like older rubber ones.

Yes the pedal feel spongy... Some told me to change the brake pump.
Do I have to do that? I change the brake fluid and bleed...
