Lock up

I have a 85 z with new brakes all the way around. The problem is they want to lock up when i first leave anywhere. After i have driven awhile they work fine. So whats wrong?

Make sure they're bled sufficiently, sometimes air in the system will cause them to do that. Just check the system out again.
