ever since had discs and pads changed my brakes seem to be pulling to one side.

Ive had both calipers rebuilt, tried different hubs, changed brake fluid line and they still pull.

The car has been rolling roaded to prove its the brakes and not the suspension

any ideas?

brakes need to bed themselves in?
could be air in the brake line (need bleeding)

you sorted the geometry yet? - your castor and camber angles were waaaay out and mis-matched side to side...

the caster angles being out often give a 'pull'.

yeah a mates dad sorted it for me, the car drives straight fine now, just the brakes, brakes have been bled many times, and pads have been swapped around to check it wasnt warped pads, so gonne leave them a few weeks n see if it corrects its self now

what did he set the caster to?

[frosty90]

i dont know what they were set too, but the car has been tested at a MOT testing station and showed that the left hand brake is not working as well as the right hand side.....

[icklemini]

try a different set of calipers perhaps?

[frosty90]

they are different caliper, also changed the brake line hoses, and the tyres around
