I've just done a cosworth disc conversion using series 2 calipers using hi spec spacer brackets. i have replaced the seals in the calipers and also put new wheel cylinders and shoes in. I can't get rid of the spongy brake feel and 'long' pedal feel even after bleeding the brakes 3 times! and have also just replaced the master cylinder thinking it might be that, so i was thinking it might be faulty bias valves.

Just use the car and give it a little time, bleed them again in a week or so.
