under hard braking car steers left
When driving normally the car brakes fine, no vibration no steering jerk. But under hard braking, the car steers to the left.
Could this be an alignment problem?
Tire pressure problem?
I got an alignment recently, so I would thikn to rule it out, unless they did not do it right???

This could be due to several things....road surface condition, tire pressure, pad wear...
How many miles do you have and are you on the original pads?
Is this a hard pulling (do you literally have to fight it to keep the car under control)?

If i let go the steering wheel, the car will ver to the left. But if i just hold on normally then the car will continue going straight.
My car has 26k, I have not checked the pads.
This happens on most road surfaces, so I do not think that it could be the road design? ... since most roads are curved towards the right anyhow for rain water to travel

Except in North America, where the highways are most often crowned, such that the left lane slopes to the left...which sometimes makes me wonder about the alignment/brakes/tire pressures in my other car, as it "pulls" to the left when I am in the center or left lanes...I know that it is the road though, and some parts are worse then others.

On an older car (not an S2000) I've seen it where a brake line was getting pinched internally under heavy braking. The car would behave like only one tire was braking. It was very obvious that it was not related to the road, tire pressure or alignment.
