a couple of problems: installed new KYBs all around, SS brakes hoses, SS sleeves, HAWK pads and new calipers. when i brake hard it still pulls to the right. and when i turn the wheel while NOT moving it seems to take a little more effort than usual. as if the tires dont want to move and then all of a sudden break free. i bled the brakes, maybe i have to do it more. i checked for rubbing. any suggestions? thanks

I would double check everything, which I'm sure you have. Also I see you replaced everything but the rotors. Have you even had them turned? I would look at that as a possible problem. If everything else needed replacing, I'm sure the rotors needed some attention.

I would say the rotors. Buy new ones, if your old ones are warped turning them is only a bandaid solution and you will be doing it sooner rather then later.
Also check the hardlines and make sure none of them are pinched or leaking, as this would cause a loss of fluid to the one side and cause the pulling when braking as you described.
