    Not sure if I'm imagining it or not, but it seems that when my brakes are cold they pull to the right, or feel slightly squirmy under braking.

    Anyone else found this or is it just my imgaination playing games?

    Yup - me too - happened last night as i left work approaching some twisties! Will just be beacause pads and discs are cold and damp and not up to proper operating temps yet.

    So not something to worry about then? Doesn't last long.
