contamination on the brake pads, could be a fluid leak betting on the friction material

try holding the brake right down for 20seconds and see how they are after that.
otherwise change the discs

Brake line knackered?
Might be expanding with the pressure of the fluid.
Get some goodrich ones on there if they need replacing, get sum1 else to do the rears as its a git to get the connectors to fit.

hmm, well all i can suggest is that when u changed the shoes you didnt either oput the self adjuster back properly, or the star type clips that hold it on are broken, the rubber lines are fucked (but doubt it)
