did you bypass your abs most people do try unhooking it at the master cylinder and see what you have.

to start with make sure all your bleeders are pointed up so all the air will come out , if that doesn't help you probably have air in you abs box. i found a cool trick to get air out of the abs box, brake the lines lose and install some roofing nails in the lines tighten then down some, then pump your breaks tell there firm, then remove the nails, and bleed the breaks at the bleeders and you should have breaks, hope that help , might sound crazy buy air in the abs box is a bear to get out.
