Just sharing this thing, when we bleed all four calipers and the brake pedal is still spongy and lacks braking power, it may be because air/old fluid got trapped inside the ABS valve body. Just get the car on a wet or icy road, and have the ABS kick in on all 4 wheels a few times.

Nah, air gets easily into brake lanes. The right way is to hook up your DiCE and trigger ABS valves a few times while bleeding the brakes.
