Jeff: I'd recommend replacing the rubber brake lines; they can break down
internally, swell nearly shut, and cause those symptoms.  Seem to remember
that German Parts and Restoration sells a kit with teflon lines (wrapped by
stainless steel weave) that also improves the brake pedal feel (firmer).  Bet
they're about $75 for all 4 calipers.
