Can you pump up the brakes to make them hard? If so you have air in the lines still. You should keep bleeding them. Why did you replace the calipers anyway? Where the boots cracked?

I'v had this problem before, after bleeding and bleeding the brakes they still were not right. I changed the master cylinder and never had another problem.
