What does "everything" consist of?

Could be a wheel/alignment problem.

Unless that "lots of other stuff" consisted of brake lines, I would certainly invest in some. Steel Braided if you can afford it.

Did you do the rear brakes too? Not sure about your car but many have diagonal brake systems now. 1 front brake and one rear on the opposite side work on 1/2 of the master cylinder. If you have a leaking or stuck rear wheel cylinder it will increase or decrease the braking on the corresponding front wheel. Had this problem too. Replaced all the hoses and calipers and everything up front and was still there. Finally checked and replaced the rear cylinders and the problem went away.

I think Jegs sells Earl's for $78 for the front pair.
Diagonally split brake systems are on FWD cars, not RWD.
