It's me again. I have another question. I have a tta and I believe its time to do the brakes. I believe its the brakes because every time I press the brakes the car is pulling to the side. Now from experience does anybody have any ideas or where I can get the brake pads for this type of car. Once again thank you!

Brake pads?

Sounds like one of the front calipers are binding slightly. You might like to see if the pistons in the caliper are moving freely in and out when you have the caliper off the rotor.
Brake pads are the same as for the 1LE cars, and Corvettes so any parts store will have them.
