I have been having a problem with my brakes after overhauling the rear calipers.
The calipers where removed and i swapped all the gaskets in them.

Since I wasn´t in a rush i left the car over the nigth at garage and started working the next day.
When comming into the garage, I noticed brake reservoair was a "bit" under the min. After this i had a big problem with air in the system. I think we bleed it 6 times without any big improvements.
Luckily a friend helped me bleed the valve next to the resorvoair, and did a couple of regular bleeds.

Now my pedal doesn´t hit the floor. but the pedal feel is way of. The braking is soft and you need to push it way more, to get the same effect that i got when tapping the brake before.

Anyone got any suggestions where i could start looking.
 
I think you will just have to keep bleeding it. I changed a master cylinder on a civic before and it took weeks for the pedal to get good even though I bench blead it before installation. Just keep driving it and bleeding every couple of days, you could try jacking the rear up and leaving over night and then bleed them in the morning.
