Default Car pulls to the right when braking, only sometimes. Ideas?

Not often, but sometimes when I brake the car pulls to the right pretty forcefully. Before and after alignment and brake check. I got a UK spec alignment done and had my brakes checked by my Honda mechanic and he says the brakes look fine and are wearing evenly. The car is lowered with BC Racing coilovers, is it possible a slight height difference from either side of the car would cause this? Any other ideas?

Edit: Tires are inflated properly and worn evenly as well..

May look fine but a strip down and grease the pins are a must as well as getting rid of the rust build up on the pad sliding area to give a little clearance for heat expansion ect.
The rears should be done also to eliminate any problems that end.

Check your air pressure in the tires. This time of year with temps changing a lot, your tire pressure will change too.

I've decided I'm going to track my car this month, so I'll be upgrading brakes anyways.

Air pressure is fine, thanks though!

Braking power is good? How bad is the pull?

did you try bleeding your brakes? maybe there's air in your brake lines?
