can't figure this out
recently i replaced my rotors and pads and they brake a lot better then before however the pedal feels like there no pressure as if there air, i was told that it was normal?! 
another thing i noticed the car wants to go to the left most of the time i also recently had an alignment and balanced the tires. I'm really having some funky issues, never had this problem before. if you have some suggestions or advice, anything would be extremely helpful.
thank you

spongy pedal?
rock hard pedal?
pedal travel play?
noise?
pulling?
any vibration under braking?
etc.

and im guessing youve done viual checks as well? leaking around master cyl/ booster, at all calipers and in between? i does sound like what u said before about you having air in your lines. unless when u pushed ur piston back in, it got snagged on a retainer or something. usually the pedal is spngy and needs more travel on the first few brake applications after a pad change. i dont know unless i am with the car. but is possible on stock lines to dry up and spring a leak. a tiny tiny hole is enough to contaminate your brake fluid. id check brake lines (makes sure theres no twists, cracking, leaking etc.) after that, id say bleed brakes and keep a close eye on braking sysmptoms
