i know this sounds absurd, but does anyone believe in using crappy pads with less bite for autox? at low surface grip and small lots we use, brake lock up had been a huge problem for me all year. the lockup seems to be worse at the extreme slow and tight hairpins or 90 degree sharp turns. i know sometimes it is partially me as i have the tendency to smash the brakes. abs is nice, but i feel like it gives you such huge inconsistency that i cant trust it completely lap after lap. does this sound stupid or do i have a point? i currently have the stockers, xp8 and xp10. the xp8 and 10 just flips the car out and get into ice mode. while i dont hit that with the oem ones, i do engage the abs quite a bit.
