Yaw sensor and braking trouble at track

[Icecreamtruk]

Thanks, I will give it a go, I have two different front pads with different coeficients of friction, lower one is in at the moment (which is the same as rear, my rear brakes are kinda big compared to standart brakes by contrast). I can always put the fuse back in and pedal dance it, just looking at learning a bit more about threshold braking without the ABS holding my hand for the time being.

No, the car is mostly stock and the steering wheel has never been removed. Mods are camber plates, Bilstein B8s, Swift SpecR springs.

If you've never removed your steering wheel I think the likelihood of your Steering Angle Sensor (clock spring) being the culprit is low.

Might look into a used ABS unit if that will fix...
But then again I might just keep motorin on as is!

One thing's for sure, my 240Z never woulda did this to me!

Remember, that published friction alone, is only the peak friction a given pad can make at a given temperature. It doesn't indicate the type of response, bite, release, and modulation the pad has at a given temperature or friction.

Would it surprise you to know that the W5 is actually a higher friction pad than the C2? The C2 is stiffer, and has a more immediate, linear response than the W5, so while the C2 has lower peak friction, it engages more readily, in this case, leading to a front biased response to your brake pedal input!

Thanks for info! It doesn't surprise me but it does make me wanna get matching C2 rears for more initial bite at the rear. But the rear W5s seem like they're gonna last forever!

They're going to go forever, because the C2 is doing more than it's share of work!

The W5 will have enough to stabilize the car, but not enough to really make the rear tires contribute as much as they can before the fronts are overwhelmed.

Not a huge priority, but you'll see some stopping distance improvements once you square up the compounds.
