If you have the front rod going to the floor, with the bleeders closed, you have a bad master cylinder, the seals are shot. Rebuild it or change it out.

Bill, why would Wilwoods have a soft spongy feel until they warm up? If your brakes are soft and spongy, you have air or water in the system, period. If you are using metallic or ceramic pads, you won't have much braking until they reach temperature, but they still don't feel soft or spongy. Regardless of the manufacturer of your particular braking system, soft and spongy denotes air or water in the line. Replace the fluid with a high quality fluid, not the Pep Boyz discount brand. I've used Wilwoods for years and for the money, they are hard to beat.
