If the car is running pump the brakes a few times to see if it stiffens up, most vehicles nowadays have a brake booster. If you had a friend to help you have to speed bleed the brakes one at a time, open the nozzle, your friend applies the brake, when the brake is all the way down close the noozle and repeat. Chances are it is not bled properly. Check to see if there are any leaks also because you could be loosing hydraulic pressure.

Sometimes you have to bleed the brakes a few times when you change the calipers. Keep bleeding until there's no air in lines, and there's brake pedal pressure.

i just did it on mine. Make sure your not leaking any brake fluid, also keep a close eye on the master cylinder reservoir. Cuz if it gets below that you wont be happy. Make sure you also do the bleeding in the correct order. Starting from Passenger REAR to Driver Front to Driver REAR to Front Passenger.

sorry hehe read the above post now thats correct i made a mistake :P . Also check to make sure that the caliper lines that hold the brake fluid arnt kinked. They should be a nice smooth curve.
