did you get an alignment after putting the gr2s in?
I just put in GR-2's in the front and back, Ultimax Slotted rotors and Hawk HPS all around. I bedded the Hawk's in. It still pulls to the left, but here's the thing, it's NOT when I'm braking, it's only when I'm driving. Could it be the suspension or a pad catching a rotor? It's not a big pull, just a slight one, but before the job is was centered and I could take my hands off the wheel and I wouldn't drive into a ditch. Like I said, its not much, but you can definitely feel it.
Thanks for any help. I'm going to get a tire rotation tomorrow, don't know if it would help, but I'm due anyways.

I did not, but I thought that they were supposed to be an OE replacement, so I didn't think an alignment would be needed. I'll get one next week if the pull hasn't corrected by then. It didn't lower it or anything, I still need one?
If you touch the main suspension components, you should get an alignment.
If you can, try to get the lifetime alignment package. At Firestone it's only $150, and there's really no limit to how many times you go get it done. This is good if you plan on more modding in the future. If not.. well than that's your call.
i donno, i went to Firestone to ask about it. the manager was being a dick when i was just asking a simple question. he said they dont offer that for modified suspensions. it would void the transaction and they will refuse to do it. but maybe he was just an asshole and other places dont care.
yeah true that. I'll have to look over my contract later.
you would hear some noise if one of your calipers were locked. Also, the rotor would be a little "redder" than your other rotors if you had a locked caliper.
Try the tire rotation first, since its free to do. This may resolve your issue. My summer wheels pulled slightly to the left, but when I put on my winter wheels, it corrected itself.
You're going to need an alignment. Any time you put new struts/shocks/springs/etc on the car, an alignment will be needed. Repair shops love it too, because they know it needs to be done. It's one of the few things they tend to be honest about you needing after work being done.
Effort and courage are not enough, without purpose and direction.
Allright thanks guys. I'll get an alignment tomorrow. Dammit, if I knew it was going to need an alignment anyways I would have gotten Koni Yellow's and lowering springs. Oh well, we can only learn from it right?
Mmm. The hole in my pocket is getting bigger.
aw man i got a easy fix for ya
just pull more to the right LOL j/k
alignment time!
