Okay I bled all my brakes again in the proper order. I took one last look to make sure nothing was leaking then turned on the car, drove down the street and my brakes still feel just as spongy as before... what the hell?? I don't even understand what could be going wrong.
EDIT: FYI this is my brake setup-
Goodridge lines
ATE fluid
Cobb Street pads

They use the same type of fluid but they are not the same reservoir. Bleeding the clutch is not like doing the brakes. You can't use a vacuum type on it either. Have a look here:

If you can't view the link you should be able to soon, we reached our goal and Kastle will be removing the PPV sometime soon if he has not already.
