When I get on the binders after exiting a tight corner (pulling over 1G according to my G-tech meter) the brake pedal almost goes to the floor. Pressing the brake again yeilds normal stopping power. The only thing I can think of that would cause this would be the brake disc moving and pushing the piston back into the caliper. The energy from pressing the pedal is used to push the brake pad back up to the surface of the rotor. I can not notice a handling problem or hear anything odd. I also checked the wheel bearings and can not feel any play. Has anyone encountered this problem before? If the wheel bearings are fine is it just that my bearings/uprights are not up to the task of driving that hard? Does anyone make upgraded wheel bearings? :dsm:

Forgive me for insulting you....

Any chance you're low on fluid and the hard corners are exposing the pick-ups to air? One warning that I've gotten that my fluid was low was when braking at better than a g caused my low-fluid light to illuminate. Maybe you're as much of a bozo as I.
