Brake problem

200 Nissan Altima SE, 91000+, 4cyln: When I step on the brakes I need to apply more than the normal amount of pressure. I just changed my brake pads, brake discs and one of the calipers. Do I need to change\add in brake fluid or is there something else going on with the car?

Thanks.

Anytime the brake hydraulic fluid is lost like when you replace a caliper, you need to flush the system to bleed the air out of the system. If not your pedal will feel soft and spongy and it will take more force to apply the brakes to stop the car.
