Again, I have seen bad rear calipers cause a pull/\.

I already replaced the front calipers pads and rotors and the system seemed to bleed ok so I am thinking the hoses are ok but maybe you don't see the hose issue when bleeding? I also swapped sides of the front wheels so it's not the tires. From this thread I have noted to check the suspension bushing and rear calipers...and maybe the hoses? Plus possibly, now the valve block. I think one of those is about $1800 if I remember correctly if I have to replace it. Could it be a steering issue? Although it seems to go straight under normal driving when I let go the wheel.

Appreciate any feedback/ on how to best narrow it down other wise I guess i'll replace parts from cheapest to expensive order.

sorry, forgot to say it's 2+2 IL4
Renew the front flexibles, this is a must. Check that the pads are able to move easily into and out of the caliper if you remove the pins, I usually grind down the metal edge of the pad a bit to be sure the pad slides into the caliper easily.
Then post again with the results.
