Default problem bleeding/adjusting brakes

i changed all 4 of my brake pads yesterday. i bled the brakes got in my car it did not stop. the pedal completely to the floor i bled some more and now it stops but i still have to push the brake about 80% down. i bled the brakes furthest from pump to closest. ive tried this like 3 times and no change. any help would be appreciated.

Keep at it. Bleeding the brakes on the tC is (was for me) a time consuming process.

first did you do it right? check your brake fluid on MC it might be low. and you said you have to push down about 80% on the pedal right? might be miss adjustment of some sort?

did you keep your reserve full while bleeding maybe you pumped your reserve empty and threw a **** load of air in to your lines ?

What was your process for bleeding them? And like the others are saying did you make sure you have plenty of fluid and didn't bleed it dry when you were bleeding the brakes?
