Did you bleed whole system? Also on the Porsche calipers you have to bleed the inside first. Some people also lightly tap the caliper as they are bleeding them . Wether this helps I don't know.
I would bleed the whole system again.
I believe Alex looked into this and ended up bleeding the calipers with them detached from their mountings.
This enabled him to manipulate them and free some trapped air bubbles

If you have poor brakes after cruising then the pistons are being pushed back into the caliper by the disc - disc has run-out or caliper and disc are not aligned properly. Probably dirty hub face or bad caliper bracket.
You should also bleed at least 500ml fluid out of each caliper and pump the pedal plenty to release small air bubbles.
As error said, plus freeplay in wheel bearings, brake pads not moving freely in the caliper also if the pads and discs aren't yet bedded in you can have a pedal that doesn't feel as good as it should.
