Do you have the correct brake pads? Post up the brand and part number.

If your pedal is spongy yes bleed the system again like stated above. There's sequence to these cars for bleeding you should follow. Start with the bleeder valve furthest from the master cylinder which would be your passenger rear move to drivers rear then to passenger front and then drivers front. Now bleed the master cylinder if that doesn't help definitely have the abs bled you will need a computer to do this. If you still have a problem personally I would get a set of new calipers just to try and see if this helps. If it doesn't you could always return them but at least this way you rule out the calipers. I had this same problem with my 02 GT the spongy pedal was due to air in the abs and the wheels locking up turned out to be bad calipers. GL
as noted..some drag is normal..
they will change after a heat cycle or two..
I have 1 that hangs..still untouched..
I have to push piston out farther han back in a couple times and it frees it up..

See above. Did you get the correct pads? The cobra and gt pads are different.
It's been too long since I've worked on the front brake calipers but if its a floating caliper are the pins frozen? I can't remember if its a floating caliper or not so this may be useless info.
Put them in and drive it then. They preload with pressure so the pedal is firm.
Thanks for that. I couldn't remember for sure.
