Get a micrometer

I honestly think that they front rotor's were cut too thin when they were resurfaced. should I go for stokc replacements? ever since the brakes were change I've always known that pedal felt a little softer.

Rotors which are cut too thin are more susceptible to warping and brake fade. They do not manifest themselves as a soft pedal. If you are concerned about your rotors get a micrometer and measure the thickness. See Chilton page 9-11 or Haynes page 9-10.
Front rotor, minimum thickness 20mm.
Rear rotor, minimum thickness 8mm.
Front rotor, maximum thickness variation 0.01mm.
Rear rotor, maximum thickness variation 0.02mm.

Re: Get a micrometer
We did bleed the lines twice when the brakes were changed but still got the same soft pedal feeling afterward. I will have to pick up one of those micromeeters.

A soft brake pedal is usually a sign of air in the lines. Bleeding the brakes should solve the problem.
