Akebonos not up to heavy track use!

Tracked the car today. Brakes where fine. No ABS issues at all.

The sad part is that it doesn't take particularly high rotor temperatures to get into this state. I don't think the calipers are solely to blame for the problem however people that have replaced their calipers have seen the problem go away.
+1... issues was completely eliminated once I installed my AP Racing BBK... more posted here AP Racing Big Brake Kit Installed!

You were at FIR East if I recall correctly... really not too hard on the brakes, just the one big braking zone and plenty of time to cool down after that
