When you pushed back the pistons to install the new pads, there may have some bubbles formed. How's the "bite"? Do the Akebonos bite strong?

I noticed with my Akebonos (w123) that I can't stomp on the pedal hard enough to generate brake lock when performed on an isolated road. The OE pads I replaced were ATE, but the rotors were warped so I put in new ATE rotors too.

You can always perform the brake bleeding to be on the safe side, and if the mushy feel does not go away, it can be attributable to either the rotors, pads or the combination.
