How are you bleeding them? Did you follow the correct procedure?

i've changed my pads, rotors, and bearings before, and i never bled my brakes... i just pushed the caliper back in, and pumped the brakes a few times... seemed to work pretty good...

You might want to change your brake fluid too. Brake fluid is only good for a certain amount of time. Once the fluid goes bad the brakes will get squishy.
