Default brake help

i just replaced the front rotors, pads, and calipers on my camaro...after dealing with a seized caliper and a bunch of other bs my brakes still arent working right....we bled the system a couple times and the pedal is still goin to the floor...if i pump it a few times the pedal gets hard but then goes right back to soft....any ideas what the problem is and should i try bleeding them again?

does the pedal get hard before you start it up and then goes soft once you start it, and how are you bleeding your brakes?

Did you reset the ABS module? If not, you might have air trapped in there.
