Brake job, now brakes pull the car left

Update:

I just replaced the factory lines with aftermarket stainless ones built by Forged Performance; plus sucked out -all- the fluid and filled it with fresh Motul Dot4. Seems the problem is much much better now; to the point where I'd have to say its just about perfect. One things I did still notice is that the after a few hard stops I get out to check the termperature of my rotors with an IR Heat-gun. i find the left front is still running about 5-9% hotter than the right front, but the rear rotors now equalize in temperature.

So I'll have to give it a few days, but so far so good and the car brakes a bunch better than before. I'll probably give it just a few days and bleed the brakes one last time before I call it quits.

Either I had some air or a kink in the lines.
