Help me help you.
Modern ABS is so good you won't feel it in the pedal; you have to see it in the data. Typically in scenarios like this where pad wear is even, inadvertant ABS over-use is the usual culprit.
If the rotors have radial banding and juddered deposit along the swept path, that's a good indication of ABS.
How much power are you making and what does the car weigh? Fade with C2 is highly unusual. Even guys using slicks don't fade the C2 in HPDE/Sprint sessions. All pads will lose thermal capacity as they wear; this is just a function of mass. A thinner pad will run hotter, and thus, overheat faster. That said, I'm not sure I've actually ever heard of anyone fading the C2 on the 86, even with a base caliper. The fact that the pads ran without issue previously would indicate that it's not a defective pad, as a defect would have manifested immediately the first time they get hot.
Are you gently squeezing the brake pedal or mashing it and hanging on for dear life?

I’m trying to modulate the brakes as I go into corners. I’ve learned early on that stabbing any of the inputs is usually a bad thing
so pushing the brakes hard but not standing on it then jumping off.
Here is the rotors and the calipers. The car has less than 4K miles on it so the calipers I feel like definitely should be good.
The rotors look like they have cracks but it’s just spider webbing. My nail doesn’t hang on anything.
