Default brake pedal mushhy

i changed my pads and rotors today i picked up a set of kvr cross drilled rotors. one little problem when i step on the brake pedal its mushy, it goes down a bit more then it usualy would but when u really step on it the car comes to a complete stop. any ideas why the pedal is mushy? the reservoir tank is topped up with brake fluid.

Trenell helped me bleed the brakes on the bimmer. Pedal was rock hard after. I gotta do the same on the legacy, its pedal is soft as a marshmallow
