brake problem

[autumn_again]

okay, so every time i hit the brakes, the car starts to pull to one side, i guess thats the best way to describe it.

it didn't do this when i bought it, and i haven't done anything to the brakes at all.

i know i need new pads, and that my rotors are warped, would this cause this?

also when i hit the brakes hard, not stomp but like keep my foot on the pedal and apply a little more pressure, the brake light comes on.

i'm thinking because of low fluid in the reservoir because my dad was saying all the fluid goes down the lines when i hit the brakes., which are close to being done, and more pressure then usual would cause more to go into the lines.

i could be wrong though.

Fix the known problems in the braking system and the rest will go away... new pads & rotors, then bleed the brakes and all will be good...

yeah i plan on it, just making sure its just that.

Been there, done that........good advice above.

Also, if you're tires are not wearing fairly evenly, you can have "tracking" issues when braking. Like you stated, you've got serious enough problems that need to be fixed.

If you're considering a brake upgrade in the near future, now might be a good time to do so. $800 can pretty much get you Cobra front and rear complete brake kits along with some stainless steel lines up front. That's not cheap, relatively speaking, but you shouldn't need to worry about brakes for a long while afterwards.

yeah thats what im waiting for. till i have enough to upgrade my calipers and rotors in the front and back.

and i also want to install a line lock so i don't kill back brakes.

as said above...rotors,pads...and inspect for a sticking caliper when they are changed......and tire wear patterns...
