I actually called Wilwood and got some tips as to what needs to be done. Those calipers don't like pressure bleeders, so he told me to rebleed the fronts with the two person method. HUGE difference. It's definitely getting there, and its certainly driveable the way it is now.

I sold my old wheels to a kid with the six piston version of these calipers and asked what he did. He told me without using a Tech2 to autobleed the ABS a few times and rebleeding each time after, you won't get a good pedal. I've always wanted a snap on red brick which can autobleed also, so I'm going to look for one to use and keep trying. I'm much more hopeful now.

Thanks everyone for the tips. I'm really appreciative, albeit frustrated with this car.
