I'm asking because with stock pads it may have been pad fade in that case. The pad fade feels almost identical to the ice mode except that it keeps getting worse as the heat builds.

I've had both so it was all that much harder to figure out what was going on.

stock pads and pad fade = total brake loss in about 4 applications.

I've never had the ice mode, even with the brembos. I think though, there is a big difference stopping from speeds in the 100s and even in the 60s with hot R-compounds than in the 40s-60s with street tires.

I'm pretty sure this is only an issue for autocross guys and not track guys.
