or get new brake pads and get your brakes aligned.... that's what it sounds like to me. if it were the alignment it would happen all the time and not just while braking. also, check the inflation on your tires... if one of your front tires is low it'll cause it to pull while braking as well.

make sure the front shocks are seated all the way down in the lower arm fork :thumbup:

the steering is more sensitive to road when the car is lowered too...

the ride is great, not much a difference, i setted it 16 in front and 12 on back...............i'm getting alignment friday. and depending on the results, that's when i'll consider getting a camber kit. i don't think it's real low, considering i got a 2 finger gap all around. i'll get pics up after i install my body kit, which is marinating in the basement.
