Suspension/brake problem - slight shudder and left pull

FL 4Motion

I wonder if the brake shuddering a few folks inc the OP are describing might be related to the oem akebono calipers? Seems like everyone with the problem has or is currently tracking on the stock calipers. Perpaps one or bothhave warped somhow or the pistons are messed up in one of them?

With toe settings at 0 or slight toe in in the rear, the cars should be tracking straight at speed so it doesnt appear to be a toe setting issue, that was why i mentioned it earlier.

Could the left caliper be not completely releasing and cause the car to pull ever so slightly to the left perhaps?

These are some strange issues.

I'm tracking with the Akebono's with no problems. I also run a Hard Brake heat shield between the pads and pistons.

Another thing too. Might have one piston hanging up in a caliper. But you could see that in pad wear.

Yeah, it was a wag since im also running the stock akebonos with no issues and did so as well with the last nismo for 3 years but this is a strange problem and im curious as to the resolution so i thought id throw it out there.

And pad wear does seem even/fine as I have changed the pads (and rebed them) often in the past. Been riding consistently on my EBC yellows lately though. I'll get my camber specs - I know they're around here somewhere. Also, since I had the corner balance/alignment done last year I wonder if it's still in spec now. I have SPC front arms and the eibach rear camber arms. I know they're not SPL, and I do put them through some abuse. I guess we'll see what it shows in March when I go for my re-alignment. I'll try a few of these things in the meantime. Thanks again for the input guys. If anyone has any other thoughts please let me know!
