when the car is off, push the brakes a couple times, if they don't tense up and become fairly hard to push after the 3rd time, you didn't bleed them properly. Worth a try.
In what order did you bleed the brakes?
Try again.
I'm about to get caught up again by Sunday afternoon,
if you need some help. -Bob

Did you bed your brakes yet?
If not this is a serious problem.
New rotors+new pads = brakes feel like crap until they are bedded properly.
Also you should not be getting any sort of fade on the street unless you are hammering on your brakes REALLY hard.
