Agree totally. If not properly adjusted the springs pull the shoes back. Air in system usually gives a spongy pedal no matter how much you pump it.

Welp. I removed the ABS valve and threw it as far as I could.
Plumbed in new line.
Let it gravity bleed for a bit.
Pedal is even WORSE! I'm ready to throw in the towel and sell it for a loss. This is ridiculous.

don't give up.sometimes you just have to start over.
start with bench bleeding the master again.this time do it for much longer.give it 50-100 pumps or something stupid crazy then bleed at the wheels starting with longest runs of brake lines first.give each wheel like 10 full pedal stokes after you don't see any more air bubbles.make each wheel count overkill.you'll get 'er.
