I think my brakes are $%^&*, need help figure out what the hell is going on

Pads and rotors will need replacement, but they have meat on it. It still doesn't explain why I get these weird feeling lap after lap. Sometimes the car stops, sometimes the car doesn't. It's hard to explain, it's just different behavior at each turn and each lap. I will replace the pads and rotors and the calipers on it, but I am hoping it isn't some other components going bad. I honestly don't recall being this bad.

Smooth input, hard input, both did the same thing.

Suggest you replace the pads and bed them before replacing the rotors - bedding new pads on new rotors is usually not all that successful, best to use one "used" component rather than replace both at same time.

If you are triggering ICE-mode (your pad setup is very aggressive) you will get the symptoms you describe (rock-hard pedal and no retardation).

Only cure is to isolate the yaw-sensor .. search for "yaw sensor fix" or go here:
DIY Yaw Sensor rocker switch
