Brake System question

Working on my GF's '00 Mustang. We have changed out the calipers, rotors, pads ( 4 wheel disc) and a line or two a few times, over the past year or so. Now we are back with the same issue, pulsing brake pedal, brakes that seem to stick upon intial acceleration- all the symptoms of a sticking caliper or warped rotors. This issue seems to "move around", problem in the back, fixed it, then the same problem will pop up on another corner of the car....... My question is, could the MC be the problem?

Hey, like I noted...my GF's car.....it does have one redeeming quality, well, two actually....1. It is a convertible and 2. we have had it for almost 10 years without a lick of trouble save the brake issues.......

God Forsaken (GF) Mustang? Might it be your pads are too high in metallic content, heating your rotors? Just a thought.
