you need to bleed the lines, not just put new fluid.

If the rear brakes are not adjusted properly it will cause a low brake pedal.

Well, as they sit right now, do the drums come off w/o any drag or spin freely on the axle? If so, they are out of adjustment.

For the original question. Did you clean the rotors before installing them. They come from the factory with a light glaze of oil to keep them from rusting. If you didnt depending on how many miles you put on teh new brakes they might be shot.
