Did you just change the pads and not do anything with the rotors? You should have at least scuffed the rotors to put a non uniform surface on it to bed the pads in better. They might be glazed from the last set.
Bleeding the brakes is never a bad idea either as it will put nice fresh fluid in the system with no moisture in it. That and diff fluid are usually way overlooked and neglected...

Did you pump them up a few times before you took off for your test drive? If not, it will eventually get back to normal once the fluid goes to the calipers.
