Did you break them in? That's mandatory when you replace rotors. 30 stops from 30mph, with 30 seconds cooling time inbetween stops. It's called "bedding." The stops "embed" pad material into the pores of the rotor. It also heats up the pads and bakes out any manufacturing solvents. Makes a huge difference.
