Did you have any issues (the OP)? I was driving very hard and several people in my, and others, run group spun out. My car went into limp mode on just about every lap that these guys started to loose grip...

I think my rear brakes were getting too hot. I would start to loose grip and I think the e-diff was roasting the rears. I am not seeing any clear way to address this. Will pads be an answer? or the 330/z4 conversion?
I did 4 runs in my car without any real issues. I sat passenger in my car with my instructor driving, and my car went into limp mode for him (as he was driving significantly harder than I was). My brakes were seeming to fade for me a lot toward the end of my day, and I was just curious what you guys have done to improve stopping power.
