To the OP, usually with new brakes, especially when the rotors aren't replaced, the brake feel is much softer until the pads seat in. Usually after driving around for a little while the brakes feel back to normal again.

To the last post, if you haven't done any brake flushes in the last decade you very well may have some rust in the calipers. You could always pull it off and apart to check the condition, but I'd make sure you have access to replacement parts before you get stuck without a ride waiting on parts. Personally I'd buy a caliper and do a complete brake flush after installed and properly bled. And I'd gently pinch off the brake hose when changing the caliper to avoid any air getting up into the DSC/ABS unit, otherwise it will be a trip to the dealer to bleed that system.
