Default alignment

LAst Saturday I got my black z06 wheels put on with some new tires and could easily tell that I was going to need an alignment cause it was drifting to the right some. So i went to a local place here in pasadena and they redid it for me and the first thing I know as I am driving off is that its still pulling slightly to the right but more noticeable when I use the brakes. So I take it back to them this morning and they do their thing again and drive it and say yeah it drive pretty straight on the road but yeah it pulls to the right when you use the brakes. They told me I need to get the brakes looked at. Anyone agree with their assumption or am I just getting dicked over by these guys. Thanks. The car has 18k on it now.

im thinking the way your old tires wore had something to do with how your pads have worn, so maybe new pads will apply flat allowing you to brake straight. Also i wanna see pics! I am getting the black z06s too.

Default Pullin' it :-)

If it pulls to the right when driving it's alignment, if it pulls when braking, it's brakes.
