Brake Problems

I just put on new brakemotive front pads and rotors, and i took out for a test drive and when i hit the brakes they went to the floor. Then my car pulled to the left, and my passenger side brake stayed on at all time. Im just making sure the only thing it can be is the caliper. Im hopefully going to replace the caliper tomorow. Any thoughts on what else it could be

It doesn't have to be the calipers. It can be traced all the way up to the master cylinder. Maybe the caliper washers, maybe the lines. I would put my money on the rubber lines, probably bent it too much.

I would check all corners, just to be safe.

Thanks I checked the brakes, what happened was when I put the caliper back on I flipped it so the brake line was kinked , problem resolved.
