Default Rims - Anything About Rims Post It Here

That's just what I've heard, can't say mine pulls to the left under hard breaking as I haven't had to test it yet. I'll be trying to get in for a wheel alignment sooner rather than later anyway, as slight left pull shits me...

What other issues might cause this? My G3 STi does this too but only at higher speeds like +90km/h then drop anchor. It has been aligned several times by JF. It's not like it tries to drive off the road it just has a wiggle to the left and then straightens out and brakes normally. It does it on any road surface regardless of whether I am in the left lane or right. It also does it at the track with r-comps/race pads etc.

It did it before I put the coilovers and adjustable top hats too.

I was under the understanding almost all right hand drive cars go slightly left? If you fall asleep or something happens while driving it is to aviod a head on crash??

Wow Nick I really don't know . John is god when it comes to alignments I'm sure if was an inherent suspension setup problem he would let you know.

Being a slight wiggle maybe its a collapsing brake line which will slightly expand under pressure , do you have braided lines. My Rs had this proplem but very slightly to the right , when I changed to braided lines it stopped it .

It can also be contamination or slight glazing of one sides pad or rotor. It can also be a caliper problem like a slightly sticking piston or caliper slide sticking. Wont be a caliper slide as we have fixed calipers.

Picked up my new Work GT5s the other day, test fitted them and they look amazing
Should be getting tyres and stuff sorted thursday, bloody uni getting in the way of car stuff :| but will update on tyre size and fitment. They sit flush with guards so a little camber and maybe 245s will do the trick.
18x9+38 btw

Better to hit some that is doing 0kms rather than something doing 100kms in the opposite direction.

That's the road camber, mostly angled towards the gutter for rain to run off.
