If that's happening it's more like a gradual loss of braking, low engagement, or a generally shitty pedal feel, i.e. doesn't give much feed back because the hydraulic fluid isn't compressing evenly.
Spongy brakes is going to be air in the system. Period.

Just don't expect it to last as long as the OEM one, probably half as long. I know my parts store clutch MC started leaking two years after it was installed.
