Braking Gs lower than Cornering Gs

I was just watching some footage from last weekend at the track and noticed that my braking Gs were substantially less than my cornering Gs. I don't rely on the numbers my app tells me as far as being accurate, but there is typically a .3-.5g difference between the two and the delta is what I find interesting. The car is running Carbotech XP10s and 245 RE71rs (koni yellow shock, swift spec r springs, camber at -3.2 fron and -2.3 rear in case you needed more). Pro drivers that have been in the car have complimented the suspension balance so I don't think it is an underdamping issue in the front.


What I am trying to understand is if it is time to step up the pads or is the delta pretty standard? The maximum braking reached was pretty consistent through each braking zone (including hard braking zones), so I don't think it is a braking application issue. Also, using the pedal dance.
