Default Brakes don't feel smooth?

I was told that I needed to replace my front brakes brakes.
I could feel like pads were low ..so I replaced the rotors and pads.It still feels the same ,just not smooth stop.

no vibration just feels like low pads???
any help would be helpful

What do you mean by "low pads"? Like you have to press the pedal far before it feels like it engages?

You did the proper cleaning and lubing with silicone grease of the pads and springs when you replaced them?

What rotors, what pads? Also how are the rears? I used the front and rear Centric Powerstop kit w/ coated rotors, and Evolution pads on my 13 Lux, I would say brakes are excellent.
