I'm guessing there is a little bit of air in the lines. Maybe replace the fluid?

Maybe your calipers are bad:confused: Something is definately wrong though, 400ex fronts are very strong!

Since everyone else has already covered the mechanical parts, I can only think of one other possibility... something oily on the rotors or pads. Have you cleaned the pads and rotors with any type of brake cleaner/degreaser to make sure they don't have anything slick on them? I'm thinking that surely you've tried that already, but sometimes it's the simple things that will get you:D
