Sponginess is normally credited to air in the system, usually close to the caliper, so another bleed should bring it back to normal.
Another factor is that you say you used Pagid "race" pads which are not ideal for the road as they glaze easily. Before replacing the fluid, I would try a few (at least 3 or 4) high speed stops to de-glaze the pads - safely of course.
And if you have a Boxster S with drilled rotors, you need to clean out the holes as they easily fill up with brake dust. I use a high pressure air lance which is a lot quicker than doing it with a piece of wire......
