I have the same "unstable" feeling, moving a little side to side on the hardest braking points. I think it's more to do with the very good pad+stock suspension with a side of abs kicking in. XP8s and XP10s all around didn't change it for me, still on the stock nismo suspension and springs.

It could be a contributing factor you spun out during the rain at the thunderbolt. I could definitely feel it more loose during wet sessions. Very scary and no fun. What pads are you running now?

That was just plain old going to fast, ran out of talent. Getting XP10/8 combo and trying out FrozenRotors blanks. Used up my current XP10/10 and Z1 slotted rotors last weekend.

Nonetheless conditions were horrible. Are you still planning for another track day this season? Im going most likely the 29th at thunderbolt. Let me know if you're interested. I'll send you the link.
