It could also be that the brake hoses are partially collapsed internally.

there's probably no way to check the lines is there?i know when i bled out the new calipers the fluid squirted out with good pressure.

What led you to believe it was both calipers? Are the rims getting hot when you drive or are you going through brake pads?

If the brakes are sticking (not releasing after they are applied) try opening the bleeder screw while that happens and see if they release. If they do, replace the hydraulic hoses and re-bleed the system. Road test again and hopefully the problem wil be resolved.
I hope this helps.
