Default Brake HELP!!!

I recently put on new slotted rotors and pads on my 01 Camaro SS. The front wheels started locking up. I then put on new front calipers, abs module, and brake lines, and it still does the same thing. I bleed the brakes already and the abs system with a Tech II. At first the driver side wheel would lock up worst than the passenger side, and now it's the opposite. I already spent more than I wanted to. If anybody has any idea what it could be, I would appreciate any suggestions.

Didn't happen to hit the sensor wires for the ABS sensors when you were changing stuff, did you?

I don't think so. I dropped off the car with a mechanic yesterday, and he said more than likely it was the brake lines. He changed them and it's still doing the same thing. I'll call him and ask him if he's checked the sensors. Thanks.

Is your ABS light on while driving it? Does it come on & go out once started?

Abs light is off. Mechanic said it's not giving him a code.
