After changing to new pads, which requires that the piston be pushed back to make room, did you notice that the first application of the brakes was like having no brakes? That is because of the brake fluid being forced into the reservoir. You should have had to pump the brakes at least twice to move the calipers into position.

Check the brake lines to make sure you didn't "crack" them open and now have brake fluid all over the place. Check the level of fluid in the reservoir.

Check the bolts for the calipers, they better not be loose.
