Default Air / bleeding K-sport big brake kit 99'

Hi all,

I have a set of K-sport 8 pots on the front of my 99' rb5 and have a bit of an issue.. ever since i have had it despite bleeding numerous times the pedal travel is too much. I have to pump the brake pedal once or twice to get any real force for the brakes to work properly.. As i have said, i have bled numerous times and no luck...the brakes feel good initially, but if i leave if for a few minutes the pedal goes soft again.. its as if air is getting back in?? I'm not losing any brake fluid, could air be getting into the master cyclinder? Or do i need to upgrade it seeing as the car has 8 pots?

Any help would be great.. i have an mot coming up soon, plus i was it sorted for my own sake.
ta.

Dan

basic question but are the bleed nipples pointing up over and have you bled the outer and inner nipples??

when you have bled the brakes have you looked at the rears at the same time??
