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.

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