lower brake pedal after replacing front brakes
Sooo....
i just replaced my front brakes on my S80 with cross-drilled rotors and Hawk performance pads, but after breaking in the brakes the pedal seemed to be lower than it was before i replaced the brakes.
talking with my friends i concluded i might have gotten air in the brake line, so i had it flushed and replaced with some new DOT 4- but it's not much better.
Any thoughts?

the kicker here is,when i initially hit the brakes, the pedal seems to need to travel farther to start bringing the brakes on. but if i have my foot on the brakes, then lift just a little then step down harder again- the brakes grab like they used to with the power that it used to, and it stops like the volvo it is.... which has me really baffled.
Note:--- now when i say "lower" or "farther" i'm talking maybe a centimeter farther than normal, i remember when the car was new, and even right before the brakes needed to be changed, but it's not like the pedal goes to the floor before the brakes come on, it just seems to not grab as hard initially.
