Ever Experience Ice Mode During Heavy Braking?

What is everyone's experience with the 86's braking? I've heard talks about the car going in "Ice Mode". Is this a common occurrence? I tend to be very hard on the brakes (late heavy braking) and I LFB (if that matters).

What do you think is the reason for the "ice mode"?

Happened to me in the last MSNE event. Trail braking for too long, felt like ABS kickin in.

Yeah, don't brake so much. Try switching to right-foot braking and carrying momentum instead of relying on the brakes. That or better pads/fluid.
