well if the pads are new, which may be the case, they require a break in periond of light to semi hard use, which includes using them with a good amount of pressure each time you have to use them. the pads will need time to "set" themselves, if this doesnt straighten out after some good useage, then I would have the proportioning valve checked, it regulates how much fluid goes to each wheel when stopping.
thanx
