Check the brake fluid level and bleed the system. I always bleed the system each time I am doing my brake and never had problem.
Did you break in the pads and rotors? New rotors and pads usually feel a little softter until you break them in. 20 or so stops from 50km/h with moderate pedal pressure. Allowing breaks to cool between stops. Other people also do progressive hard stops starting at 20km/h, then 50km/h, 70km/h etc etc etc. Again allowing breaks to cool between stops.
