Ok, I installed new front rotors and all new pads front and rear.

Added new fluid and bled more than 1 quart through the system.

Brakes are very spongy. I have to push 3 to 4 inches instead of tapping them.

Is it possible to back out the piston too far when putting in new pads?

What is causing this spongy Feeling.

I swear there isn't any air in the system.

Do I need to get them pressure bled

Did you bleed the underhood brake fluid tank both before and after you bleed the four wheels?

What?

You talking about the master cylinder?

He is referring to this step mentioned in the shop manual.

I don't understand air-bleeding. I used a power-bleeder when I flushed my brake fluid and just followed the instructions on it.

Don't know about power bleeding specifically, but likely you could do it to the master cylinder as well. Follow directions above (for the car) rather than on the PB pkg.
