Crazy brake issues while on track
One really odd thing I should mention is that i'm seeing some pretty severe pad taper in the REAR. By severe I mean the top of the rear pad is at about 25% material left and the bottom of the rear pad is about 75% material left. This is uniform with both the left and right side of the car. There isn't any front-rear taper of the rear pads. I also only have minimal top to bottom taper on the front pads and even less front-rear taper on the fronts.
FWIW I run the same exact pad combo 24/7 on mine never had issues with the rears over biting the fronts, In fact I was looking into for a more aggressive pad for the back to try and even out the braking some.
Keep us posted and thanks for the info.

Identical thing happened to me this weekend at Sebring, running XP12's front and rear. I will definitely inspect the calipers very closely.
I was entering turn 3 from about 105mph down to 55mph and the whole car shifted about 20 feet to the left. I pitted the that lap and inspected all the suspension parts and did find anything loose or out of place.

back from the track and I'm happy to report cleaning the sensors made a big difference. I only felt ABS a couple of times and when it did engage it wasn't anything dramatic like what I experienced before. What a relief.
now that the season is over for me I'm going to give the OEM calipers a refresh and see if I can't eliminate this rear pad taper I'm experiencing.
Thanks everyone for the help.
