you might wan't to change the flexable brake hoses if after you rebuild/inspect the calipers, check tire pressures, and the bushings as mentioned by others.

those hoses may look ok, but they are double insulated. the inner main hose might have a hole in it so when pressure is forced through it, it seeps into the insulative hose around it. You can check this by having some one mash on the brake pedal while you look at the hose. If any of them looks like it gets bigger, or blows up like a balloon on one end change it. Or, better yet change all of them.


under harder braking the coupe pulls to the left the more pressure on the brake, the more pull. Other than that the brakes feel pretty tight. Any ideas what it could be?
