did you break in the pads?

a proper break in for the pads is critical for best performance. Do a search on this BB, there have been several excellent descriptions of this process.
may want to think about changing your brake fluid also...old fluid can lead to a spongy feel and poor performance.
I just replaced my pads and rotors on all 4, and the pads were a little soft and smelly for about 2 or 3 days of light city driving. They stop very well now.
good luck
