to break in pads. i know you are supposed to but i never think of it. i am not particularly hard on them.

i think that new pads can affect pedal feel til they are conformed to your rotors. they might be a little off on the angle of attack. i think that would affect feel.

did you turn or replace the rotors or just do the pads?

if in doubt the above rec to bleed the calipers is not a bad idea.
