Default No brake pressure when turning

I just bought a 94 civic with an ls swap in it the car runs excellent and I have brakes when driving normally but when ever I pull in my driveway and turn the wheels sharp to park I lose brake pressure at first I thought it was a leak and I was losing brake fluid but I jacked the car up and checked all the brake lines and there aren't any holes or leaks I even bleed the entire brake system hoping it was air in the lines and still no go as long as the front tires are turned all the way in either direction there aren't any brakes at all pedal goes to the floor but if you turn the wheel back straight brake pressure will return

Default Re: No brake pressure when turning

well I figured I would give everyone an update I managed to figure out what the problem was and it turned out to be a simple fix the guy who had the car before me puts some aftermarket coilovers on it and when he installed them he put the bottom mounting bracket on backwards so when ever you turn the wheel sharp the caliper would hit the bracket and slide the caliper over into the rotor and pushing the piston all the way in and whenever you hit the brake pedal the caliper would have to straighten itself back out before it could grab making it feel as if it had no pressure

You should avoid braking while turning anyway. I guess you cant avoid it in a driveway tho
