Now take the car into a good repair shop, like the dealer, and have the brakes bled professionally.

First off James what the heck are we working on bleeding procedure is different on many front wheel drive cars. Replacing the flexible hoses with braided steel wrapped ones helps. As with any brake system proper ARC of the shoes to the drum and adjusting the rear drums until you can almost cannot turn them brings up the pedal. Proper bedding of all the friction material is also essential for great brake performance. Your using Super Dot #3 fluid from clean never opened bottle? One more thing! many cars engine wall where the booster bolts is weak and all your best effort is for not. So watch the booster while some one is pushing the brake and see how much it moves only a 1/4 inch and your brakes will feel mushy no matter how much bleeding you do. I have seen brackets/braces home made and manufactured that have a bolt you crank down on the forward end of the master Cly. By holding the MC all your booster effort and leg effort is converted to Brake System Pressure.

Adjust your rear brakes to make them tighter. Make your rear shoes come into contact with the rear drums, or adjust them up. This will give you a taller pedal.

Did you adjust the rear brake shoes?

Do they firm up, then gradually creep to the floor? Duff master if they do.
Otherwise, they just need more bleeding. I use a Gunsons eezi-bleed and it "just works". Do check the rear shoes are adjusted properly first, though.

FIRST MAKE SURE THAT THE REAR BRAKES ARE ADJUSTED CORRECTLY AND NOW YOU WILL HAVE TO COMPLETELY PRESSURE BLEED OUT THE BRAKE SYSTEM.
REPLACING ALL OF THE PARTS THAT YOU HAVE, THERE IS NO WAY TO MANUALLY BLEED THEM OUT CORRECTLY.
