Break Pedal Hits the Floor
OK so one thing I've noticed is that every time I cut the wheel completely toward the drivers side of the car, when I go to step on the brake pedal it goes straight to the floor. It only does it to the left not when I turn toward the passenger side (right).
Any Ideas?
Oh BTW Disc brakes all around, front has C5 14" conversion on it, rear are LS1 brakes Steel braided all around and no visible fluid leaks, master cylinder is full

Go all around it and check the lines to make sure there were no issues? Might be something with one of the lines leading to the front wheels.

Check you rubber lines to the front wheels. If you have a pinhole or crack in one, turning the wheel can open it up and cause it to leak.

Re: Break Pedal Hits the Floor
I'm with the guys that say bleed them again. Certainly look at the brake fluid level and then take a SLOW crusie around your place, taking a few left turns then get back home, put the front end up and look for brake fluid. Then check the fluid level. You may need new brake lines (the rubber ones) up front like already mentioned or simply bleed the one side.

Been bled twice, no leaks that I can see... Not rubber hoses on the lines has steel braided. Fluid is full... and only happens when the wheel is cut full to the left not in any other direction.

Re: Break Pedal Hits the Floor
One of the braided lines could be patially collapased internally and turning the wheel causes it to pinch off completely.
