now that you guys have successfully tried peeing on eachothers shoes to prove whose feet are wetter, the OP is having severe turning while braking.
IF YOU READ his thread: This happened right after the PS pump & assy was replaced. This very same thing happened to me. PS control valve was the culprit.
So, for all of you who read this thread in the future (maybe while searching the archives or doing a Search for the same problem) please check the ps pump, control valve, pully assy or blockage in the lines.
It had nothing to do with organic or synthetic brake pads, oem or aftermarket or anybody's opinion of how best to sit on the toilet when they are butt-sore!
anyway... keep it on topic, it's a corvette forum fer god sakes!

I agree with you. We carried this discussion waaaay to far.However, you should notice Agent005 said that he centered the control valve and later found "oil" on the rotor. I guess that's when the brake discussion started.
BTW, my shoes are pretty wet!
Sorry about causing such a ruckus!!!

Upadate: It was the right front caliper, one of the seals had competely blown out....got 2 replacements AND replaced the brake pads (though the other ones were still plenty good).....everyone i talked to agrees that if the brake fluid gets on the pads - better off changing them.
everything works fine now...thanks for all the input
