My car wants to pull to the left when i step on the brakes, i have to turn the steering wheel a bit to the right or else it will pull the wheel to the left on its own, kind of like when u go over a speedbump with one tire only. I have checked my front brakes and both seem to be working fine and both slide without problem, the rears are good also. My car is lowered and still have not installed CC plates and bumpsteer kit wich i need because when going over bumps this thing wants to go everywere. I asked a budy and he told me it could be that my Caster is out of alignment.
When i took my car to get aligned the tech told me that he was not able to adjust the caster and it was off in the right side , ofc it cant be adjusted with stock camber plates. Will getting an alignment with a set of CC plates fix this ?

no answer, but same issue here. only when I brake hard though after a pull. no cc plates here though. I know I deff need them as my caster is off more on the right than left and it pulls that way. hella jdm yo

If caster is out it will pull some, but check your lower ball joints, if they have any play at all, it will pull as well..

Well the guy told me my car would pull right because the caster on the passanger wheel was off but this car pulls left when braking, also started noticing that it will pull even when lighly pressing the brake pedal so im starting to think on of my front brake is not braking like the other, oh well screw it since ill soon upgrade to cobra brakes.

Upgrading to Cobra brakes is a huge gain over the GT stuff. I love the braking in my Cobra compared to my GT. It's night and day. Except my cobra is pulling right now lol

If one of the caliper pistons are stuck, then all the fluid pressure is going to the one that works.
I think it pulls to the side that IS working.

I would say, if you are not too lazy, swap the pads and rotors from one side to the other, and see if the problem will follow the swap. That would be my first step in trying to troubleshoot an issue like this.
