What you should be doing is getting pads that are such overkill for the intended use that you can't heat up to full operating temp with a parking lot run and they won't get "all grippy" on you. OR learn how to brake with your left foot.

God that sounds so unlikely... anyway - let me know when you have GCU XP20's for sale.
What the f are you talking about? Do you even know what ice mode is? Good luck trying to continue to threshold braking without engaging it at random times.

And mike, no I didn't bother trying as I gave up on autox. I just know ice mode is and will continue to be a problem. The common theory of rear brakes locking up, I just don't buy it as the only reason as I am getting it despite playing around with my pad combos.
