Message Pedal feel is the same (or so it seems to me I have driven the car so little over the past 4 years) but during a track day it developed this tug on the wheel at the initial bite of the brakes going into braking zones. I went back and it got a little worse and now it is definitely not safe to track or drive hard.

Like I mentioned to the other reply, it literally feels as though one side of the front brakes are out-braking the other or one side loses pressure almost immediately after bite when braking hard, but I find no leaks at the calipers.

I'm going to try to source some DOT4 this week or next and rebleed the system just to eliminate an unknown variable, and then revisit this.

and yeah I was looking at the diagram of the system in the FSM, but I wasnt sure if it was accurate or just a generic diagram, looking at it it seems that if one of the internal seals was letting fluid back into the reservior, I would lose braking force at the front or rear rather than left vs right, but then again, I dont know how the ABS unit internals work so I figure I might as well rebleed and go from there.
