The DTC's are a little weird on the torque curve as they come up to temp, I remember having some ABS issues with them until they hit the sweet spot in certain braking zones.

In the beginning I thought tire size might be a factor, but I run the same tire size now as I did back then and have had various other combinations and nothing has really made a difference in that regard. Pad compound however has been #1 in controlling the ABS issue. Low torque, low grab but high temp is what works best.

This time I was on DTC-30 front and HP+ rear. I had to brake so lightly that I have completely ruled out pad compound. Theres another guy I know of running DTC-60 pads without ice mode and he is on stock wheels/tires.

You may want to check with them and see their approach to the problem.

Would be awesome, but I would be surprised if they made it available to the public.

Worked pretty well for me at Road America.

Pretty good idea. Hoping I can get a wing on the car and balance it out with that, but chances are looking slim for that to happen in the coming weeks before my next competition. Might try your method or just make a new splitter that has less surface area.
