That could be your problem.
I'm not familiar with QE brand, but I've seen several customers with cheap aftermarket brakes have the same symptoms you have.
New components, everything is good. A few thousand miles and steering wobble.
The problem is generally that brake pad material transfers to a disc if the brakes are applied and maintained after stop while the disc is very hot.
This pad bonds onto the disc and every time the disc spins around the material will give it a little more grab and therefore pulls to that side.
I've also seen it happen with OEM pads and rotors while on the track.
For people that generally attend track events, try to use the brakes the least possible during your last cool-down lap and as soon as your car has come to a complete stop take your foot off the brake to allow both the pad and the rotors to cool down.
Happy Boxstering,
Pedro
