Good question. I’m pressing the Track button until the dashboard changes to track format. Am I supposed to be doing something else or in addition to?

Hold the left button till it changes to track layout. Still won't disable abs.

That's Track Mode, which has less traction and stability control activation but still has some. This might explain the brake overheating.

For the OP if you have something like an aim solo dl2 you can log brake pressure.
Assuming you don’t hit the brake and throttle at the same time you can probably easily see if the brake is being applied without you touching it aka from the traction control. You would also probably have the tc light flash as well

Do have an AIM solo 2DL…might be worth checking to see if it’s applying brakes when I’m on the throttle through turns. Good idea!

But Mike from CSG doesn’t think there are signs of ABS abuse on the rotors. Not sure what that’d look like, but he knows his stuff.

It’s also just fun to look at data lol. I have a tab just for viewing when the traction control comes on.

I’m not sure if over heating the brakes do to over usage would show the same wear as abs abuse. Bit out of my depth on that. Hopefully you see something helpful in the data at least

Does anyone have any experience with Paragon 4 or 6 pot brake kits? Floating rotors etc, seems like quality stuff. Alcon re-brand? but nicer calipers? A little cheaper than Essex AP if you want a bigger rotor.
