Its interesting that you say that as my first run at SD NT I had no ABS Ice mode ISSUES, but after my co driver ran brakes were much warmer and then I got abs issue 2ND AND 3RD RUNS. I almost squirted the brake calipers and rotors. Wish I had tried that but I thought no heat wouldn't cause that!
I'm hearing that maybe changing proportioning more to the front and putting smaller calipers/pads on rear might be a solution. Its the issue with rears locking up that causes the computer to freak out. Less pad up front would be opposite of what you want to do if this is the case. Makes sense if you think about dynamics of braking on our cars. Weight shifts from rear where things are already light and those big rear calipers and rotors start to lock up rear wheels. Has anyone experimented with putting crappy pads on the back?
My class I have more options than stock guys. Has anyone in stock tried throwing terrible pads on the rear? Thats how I used to balance my race car sometimes. If issue is truly wheel speed problem because rears are locking up too easily why not put the worst pads ever back there. Or if you can down grade to base model rear brake - I dont know is there a difference? For my car we are going with old 350 Z Brembo caliper and rotor which is smaller. You poor stock class guys cant do that.
Man and I feel for you stock guys on oil temps. even with GTM cooler on my car we were seeing 220 oil temps and we were spraying the cooler.
