New pads/rotors: Now Brakes catch on turns

Replaced my front brake pads and rotors on my 135. They feel fine except if I apply the brakes continuously through a turn, I feel them catch, and the pedal sort of backs out a bit. This is quite unsettling and I'm trying to figure out what exactly I did wrong.

Can you describe it a bit better? So, in a long turn, if you have the pedal pushed, part way through the turn they grab extra hard? Or is it more like - they grab harder because the steering wheel hit a certain angle?

You might consider getting the front of the car off the ground, then turning the steering wheel and looking underneath to see if something is pulling. Brake line routed the wrong way perhaps, getting stretched. If it's that you'll want to be careful to not pop the whole line apart in the mean time.
