Unstable during braking carbotech xp10/xp8

Okay, I am no where near stock on my suspension. I am running the SPL catalog, bushing and and arms. I also have a Wavetrak rear diff. My spring rates 13K front and 11K rear. I am running at the full height of the coil over which make it about an inch lower than stock. I have removed all the stuff out of the trunk and the latest change included detaching the rear sway bar. I have no issues at all with squirm at all even when braking from 130 down to about 40mph.

I assume you have SS brake lines and good fluid as well? I am sure stiffening up your suspension will help. As mentioned above tires and proper inflation will make a difference.

Yes, I have SS lines with rbf600 fluid. When it comes down to tire pressures, I did try go higher/lower psi and appeared it did not make any difference during braking. I will re-do my alignment and go from there. If nothing changes, I will use my nismo pads for my last event of the season.
