Front brake problem

I just replaced the calipers, hoses, and pads on my front brakes. The back still dont work cause I have to do the hoses back there too but I was wondering why the fronts arent working that great. They are pretty spongy and I bled them twice with no air problems but twice the brake light has come on and the car wont stop unless i put em close to the floor. What should be the next thing I do to get more stopping power, is the mc gone or something? I was thinking about grabbing rotors from summit for $62 a piece is that a good price? I tried searching but there is so much info to sort though, any help is appreciated.

Re: Front brake problem

The hoses are shot in the rear. Im not gonig to worry about the backs till I get the fronts stopping well.
