Default Question about breaks

I just finished reinstalling my calipers after having them powder coated
at a local shop. After bleeding the break lines and replacing the wheels/tires
I took the S out for a spin. Although the breaks work, it seems as if I need
to depress the pedal a good deal closer to the floor than before. I recall the
breaks feeling much "harder" previously.

Can anyone here explain just how far towards the floor the pedal is supposed
to go before the breaks "bite"?

Sounds like you still have air in the BRAKE lines...

hold the brake and bleed them like 5 times, or more until you can push them in just a little. Thats what Billman250 did for my car and they feel fine. He also added more fluid to keep it full.
