Well, may be back to the drawing board with these brakes. I may need to bleed them again or just drive on them. Not sure if I got the pads bedded well enough. Seems a little soft on initial push but not like shockingly so. Also, the ebrakes don't hold worth a poop....sigh..

I was finally able to get out and drive and all the brakes work fine. I did adjust the proportion valve to push more pressure to the back. Brakes still seem softer than I'd like so I'm going to try and bleed them again.
Also, I started messing with the linkages again for the ebrake and I think it's going to work. The key is to mash down on the brake and then pull the ebrake. Guess we'll see.

Don't forget to bleed the LSPV last. Just as important as bleeding the calipers. They can collect a lot of yuck in them. Air too, of course, and if you just leave the old, moisture saturated fluid in it, it won't work properly.
Good luck!
