If your foot goes to the floor there is probably still air in the lines.

Try bleeding the proportioning vavle. Its easy and then you will have one more thing to eliminated

make sure you didn't put the calipers on the wrong side.
check to be sure the bleeder valve is above the brake line. otherwise, you'll never get them to work.
