reducing wheel lock up with cheap pads at autox??

There's no wisdom in intentionally exceeding the limits of inadequate product with the expectation of predictable decreases in performance.

What you should be doing is getting pads that are such overkill for the intended use that you can't heat up to full operating temp with a parking lot run and they won't get "all grippy" on you. OR learn how to brake with your left foot.

God that sounds so unlikely... anyway - let me know when you have GCU XP20's for sale.

How the hell are GCU XP20's going to help me? They are supposed to have loads of initial bite... Why would I want that if my brakes are locking up?

That was a joke, I was talking about overkill and how I'd buy your pads later on.

What the f are you talking about? Do you even know what ice mode is? Good luck trying to continue to threshold braking without engaging it at random times.

And mike, no I didn't bother trying as I gave up on autox. I just know ice mode is and will continue to be a problem. The common theory of rear brakes locking up, I just don't buy it as the only reason as I am getting it despite playing around with my pad combos.

Yeah guys, I get ice mode when I leave crap / street pads on when I track and they can't distribute the heat. They f*ing glaze. Especially the back ones, then the whole system freaks out. Problem with underpadding is that you will get fluid boil and pad fade and it will not be predictable whatsoever. I really think a driver mod is the solution, and I mean that unoffensively.
