Stock brake system should provide much more stopping power than you describe. I’ve redine the whole thing like you did, and included lines - but the bleeding took FOREVER. It’s not because you haven’t replaced the lines. It’s just air. And it takes a while to get out when you change all that stuff out like you did. That’s my diagnosis anyway. I just recall having to do much more bleeding than I ever did on just a basic brake job. I bleed old fashioned way, with a helper and a combination wrench.
