I own the vehicle listed above slt, and I have replaced the master cylinder and brake caliper, but my brakes still feel squishy. I have bled all the brakes and got all the air bubbles out. What do I do now?

So, what happens is you have air stuck in the ABS module which needs to be bled out. This is done by bleeding the system while the ABS module valves are manually opened using a scanner. Here is a video and guide to help you see what I am talking about:

Please go over these guides and report back.
