The clutch line needs additional heat shielding and you should change to better fluid. No problems after making that switch.

No fix for this aside from race ABS or adding a bias bar and removing ABS entirely. I think it's driving style related maybe heat or wear related. Never been a problem for me.

I ran without the front undertray recently but I don't know if it made any difference.

This really is a great forum and a wonderful resource. Thanks!
No problems so far with bearings. I did have to replace pistons when I rebuilt the calipers though. It was a pretty cheap rebuild though really.
