Did you snap the rear or the front nipple ? A new wheel cylinder is the easiest/cheapest way out for the rear, and a second-hand caliper is the same for the front.
If they're still spongy and you're confident you did the job right (sounds like you did it in the right order), then maybe you have a small pin hole leak in your lines or the rear wheel cylinders, check thoroughly including the clamps. Or maybe your booster's shagged. Someone else might have a few more ideas for you to ponder.
