This may be a weird question but.....is it soft when sitting still and trying it or soft when driving down the road? I guess what am i asking is does it stop ok? Sometimes they feel off when sitting and putting the brake on but feel fine going down the road as u rarely put enough pressure on them in everyday usage as u do at dead stop following brake job.

It feels pumped up fine because with it not running, you lose the power assist.

How does it stop? Why did u change the calipers? Was one stuck? When u bled the brakes, did u start with rt rear, leftrear, rt front and left front? If it stops fine and one of the calipers was stuck, it could account for why it feels different. Did u check the caliper slide pins that mount into the caliper bracket'?
