987?
Weird, I ran a 2011 non-S Cayman last year, on PASM springs (~30% stiffer vs. non-PASM), I never had this problem with braking.
The 981 Cayman S I drove at Watkins Glen and at NHMS was on Ohlins coilovers, and it would "hunt around" under hard braking and actually it gave me the "ICE mode" thing going into 3 at NHMS, I had to take the exscape road. For some reason I forgot about that when I was driving 981 at Palmer the other day!

S and I was talking about the take offs last week, too bad the turn out was not as good.

Serves him right (j/k of course!), I was gonna just run Conti ECS street tires this year but when he got the slicks and bumped up to T60 it was just too tempting! So $$$$ on tires and also on lightweight battery and Girodisc front brake rotors. And instead of minimal-prep "arrive-and-drive" I had to load/unload wheels/tires from car and swap them 4x at the track.
It was worth it tho

I was driving the new v730 at the glen over the weekend and was pretty confident it can go as fast as the fz201s but driver side wheel bearing when and had to end the event early.
And speaking of wheel bearings...its the 3rd one I had to change out. Thinking about just changing them all out on a yearly basis as a safety maintenance.

My front bearings were done after 2018 season, seven 2-day events. Replaced for free under warranty! My new setup should be less hard on the front bearings though I think. With 1.25" lowering and ~0.75" more bump travel lost to radial bearing in Raceseng camber plates, I was riding the outside front bump stop every turn. New setup with Bilsteins = way more front bump travel feels a LOT better and should be easier on front bearings, I hope?
