stick a full can of coke under the pedal, that'll do the trick!
or get some braided hoses fitted, it would also help the feel

ps, only kidding about the can of coke, just made me laugh when it happend to me by accident once lol

Spomngy sounds like could be air still in there somewhere, braided lines will help, also if your car is the classic then you can get a 'brake support bracket' which basically makes the pedal like rock!!

the issue would appear to be incorrectly bleeded brakes in that case then...................as above you must still have air in the system if you have a "spongy" pedal after all of the above...............??

Support bracket attaches itself to the rear of the master brake cylinder and strut. If you get someone to push down on the pedal, you'll notice the cylinder move forward. The bracket reduces this movement. Haven't tried it myself, so can't say if it actually firms up the pedal feel though.
