Who's pads and discs did you use?

Might be contamination?  Is everything looking OK in terms of the pads nicely settled against the discs?  Or even perhaps the mating surfaces between the disc and hub having something on them causing one disc to sit unevenly on the hub?

Doesn't need much to shift the disc a fraction.

Could you of disturbed the caliper causing it to start seizing?

If you're feeling it thought the steering wheel it's more likely to be worn thrust arm / wishbone bushes rather than brakes. Lots of us have been fooled by that one - do a quick search, there's plenty of advice.
