reducing wheel lock up with cheap pads at autox??

I might give it a shot. Plus I really want to steal the backing plate from the cheap pepboys pads and use them on my race pads since Nissan doesn't

I might give it a shot. Plus I really want to steal the backing plate from the cheap pepboys pads and use them on my race pads since Nissan doesn't sell it separately.

The whole ABS issue is weird. On XP8/10, I get ice mode at autox. On the stock pads, I seem to have tons of problems once the speed gets low. I can go in the same spot, but one run I would lock and the next one I wouldn't. It's hard to trust the car 100% if you don't know the car will stop on time or not.

On another note, I got some pad deposit from my XP8. The car is vibrating and making noise, can a set of race pads clean it off?
