Brakes pull left

Wide front tires will follow pavement lines, especially under braking. When it happens. See if there is any uneven pavement.

Small tires follow creases too...

The issue is related to caster and cross caster. Lower caster will allow the front wheels to track more with the road.

Low tire tread and improper tire pressure will also make the car squirrelly under braking.

I'd bet money on your slider pin rubbers swelled. If your cheap, throw the rubber out, you won't notice they are gone.

This!

I've had it happen BAD on freeways with the ruts, so now I pick my battles more carefully as it's pretty amazing how fast it can pull you one way or the other.

Other than that, like others have said, have it looked at, and honestly, may as well go for some upgraded pads/fluid/flush. The dealer has flushed my brakes 3x in 3 years.

Honestly I wasn't happy with the brakes on this car (I mean, they are cool to look at...) until I went with the z1 2 piece rotors / ebc redstuff / motul 600 / lines, and I sat there and watched them flush them out because I'm convinced the dealership won't actually do this properly unless you are "that guy" so I had to be that guy that day, but now they finally stop better than a prius once warmed up!

Just upgrade to the sport brakes. Those single piston calipers suck.
