3) Did you install all the correct shims when installing the pads? If you didn't add the shims, that too will make brake pedal travel longer.

4) Bedding, bedding, bedding. I can't stress this enough. Soft, spongy, brake feel after a pad change is normal, especially if you did both pads and rotors. A drive around the block isn't going to make that feel go away. YOU MUST get the pads and rotors hot to properly bed them in and make them come to life.

When a car is made, it is immediately taken out and drive a couple miles to bed the brakes as well as make sure everything works ok. When a shop does your brakes, they do the same because people would crap their pants if they felt how bad braking is after a pad/rotor change. It really doesn't take much to bed pads/rotors and wake them up.
