my brakes are horrible

First of all I want everyone to know that I have drums in the back. But my problems are coming from the front. I have put a new set of pads up front twice in the past two months. The first set hit the warning in about 3 weeks. The second ones are still on there but squeak every time I come to a stop. Also, every time I come to a stop my car seems to pull to the left. Any idea on what my problem is?
Thanks in advance.

Sounds like a stuck caliper. Little too much drag is causing the pull, or enough heat to cause the it to fade resulting in the opposite pull. That might explain the quick wear as well.

Fercrissakes replace your flex hoses with SS ones before you change everything else with no results first...Like *I* did...
