[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1358312, member: 19880"] As SunRider mentioned, the pads and/or rotors could be contaminated. They could also be glazed. Try removing the pads and scuffing them up on coarse carbide paper. give the rotors a good clean with a degreaser and scuff them up with carbide paper or a (brown) Scotchbrite pad. You mentioned that the sliders were clean and lubed. Check to make sure that none of the brake lines is crimped or damaged. If the above plus a thorough brake bleed does nothing, I think the next step is to replace the master and slave brake seals although in the absence of a problem such as leaks or failure to retract properly, I don't think this is the problem.
