Why did you replace the calipers?? Did you have spongy brakes before you changed the calipers ?? You may have master cyl. problems or rear wheel cyl. problems or leaks in your steel lines or rubber hoses . Remove the rear drums & fold back the rubber boots on the wheel cylinders, both sides of the cyl. ,do both rear wheels.,if any seeeeeeeepage replace !!! The life you save may be your own.Tis also a good idea to get the rear drums cut or replaced with new ,then manually adjust the rear shoes tight then back off slightly ~ just enough to feel a very slight drag when you turn the drum 1 complete turn Rebleed ,if all ck,s out ok.If you purchased your calipers from the chain store junk stores. take em off & getum returned as faaaasssst as ya can !!!!!!!!!! Then purchase from a reputable source.Your area should have few good parts stores,if not try the net. Have a good weekend guys !! Don at DVW Import Auto Parts 1-800-248 -4802
