I flat spotted a set of front tires again this weekend at NCM. The guys at Counterspace told me the car 100% needs to have less rear brake pad bias, via less aggressive pad, for track use. So that's what I've current done.

The system def. works better since the AP front kit install, but certain brake zones can exacerbate the issue.

The ABS is just outright dangerous for anybody that is a good driver and really wants to push this car. I make sure to give myself tons of room to the cars in front of me as a further precaution. Still waiting on another forum member to come through with their "black box" fix to allow OE wheels speed sensors and full dash electronics to work. For a street/DE car, it's just not feasible to delete the tach or speedo functions, and have to add a full second set of sensors. No reason this can't be fixed electronically.
Forgot to ask. What pads are you using on the front and rear? My car has been in the shop since last year. It's going back together now.

Originally ran CSG spec C2 front, CE1 rears with stock front brake setup.
Now with AP kit up front, running DS1.11 up front, and CSG Spec CE1 rears, so the front bias still remains as C2 and DS1.11 are virtually the same.
