Replaced DBA T3 4000 with DBA T3 5000 front rotors to draw cold air from Stllen ducts through the 'kangaroo paw' designed internal rotor ventilation;
Installed Rays Gram Lights 57CR 5-spoked wheels that provide an open wheel face to draw air out of rotors (no real evidence to back this up and really I just wanted an excuse to buy them);
Installed Winmax W5 pads front and rear that resist fade up to 750c;
Installed Penrite 10 Tenths Racing Brake Fluid 600 (because it's Australian and I drive on Australian race tracks);
And I am about to install Hard Brakes 1.0mm Titanium Brake Heat Shield Shims just for good measure, but mainly to prolong brake component and fluid life, and because I don't want to wait another 3 years for them to be back in stock.

No more ice mode.

I also stopped the ABLS pitching me into walls at turn exits with a yaw sensor bypass switch, so now I've completely run out excuses for randomly leaving the track and blaming it on the car

That’s interesting that you’ve eliminated ice mode while having matched front and rear pads. Seems like most have a staggered pad to reduce rear lockup and shift the braking power towards the front.
