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.
