No it's a problem with the ABS computer. In heavy braking situations (tracking and autox) the abs wll engage early and limit the overall braking to maybe 30%. It seems to get worse with heat and "stabbing" the brakes.

It would make sense that pads with better bite would make it harder to be gentle on initial application and make ice mode happen more frequently. Maybe the solution is to use a less aggressive pad and give up some overall braking performance. I've also considered playing with dramatically different pads front and rear to change the brake balance.
