Did you bleed them properly? Most people keep the standard servo with no problems

I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.

The pedal was long on mine too but it wasnt what id call spongy.

Pressure bleeding and braided hoses may improve the spongy feel.
