maybe the new pads are more compressible? or the rotors had too much material taken off ( the brake pistons will need to move further than before to contact the rotor )

I have seen different pads give different pedal feels. I had a customer complain about a lower,softer pedal after installing his own front pads/rotors. We removed the aftrmarket pads on one side and installed OEM to compair. The flex is noticably different, and the oem pads felt better.
