Default Crappy Pedal After link lock install

I just put the line lock in our 04 GTO bleed the brakes and the petal felt soft. Went racing the next weekend and it was night right, so we bleed all 4 and still felt really spongy. Today I brought it to the dealer to have them do the tech 2 bleed and it is worse then before. The tech said that there was barley and pressure to the rear calipers and was not sure what the problem is. Do you guys have any suggestion on what to try? An ABS delete is an option but nobody makes one for the GTO.

Did you bleed the right rear first followed by left rear, right front and left front last? Do it again. If you're bled properly, you won't have issues, PERIOD.

I did it that way and the dealer also did it the tech 2 way and then the other way. The fronts have great pressure but the rears barley have any

You definitely have a leak or you have some air in the system somewhere. Did you pressure bleed them with too much pressure?

Check your fitting and look for black residue or a wet appearance.

rears should not have any problem since the line lock only goes to the fronts. did you let the master cylinder run low?
