Ice mode solution?

I recently replaced all 4 calipers on my car and went with less aggressive pads, everything did get better.

I've been struggling with ice mode ever since I put in my Nismo Pro 2-Way diff. I'm taking the extreme approach and disabling ABS the next time I'm out to see if I can make that work. I hear that the brake bias will make it difficult, so I may also try putting in a bias adjuster to see if I can run without ABS with better control. I'm guessing a full Bosch ABS is the only 100% solution, but that's big $$.

I drive a 350Z and had 'ice mode' issues too. My solution was to completely remove ABS from the car and install a proportioning valve for the rears. Tracking is just a hobby for me and this solution works best for peace of mind and performance.

I did try a number of other brake pads before going to the extreme of ABS removal. A wreck will help make that decision faster for you..
