I thought of this. And it’s just gonna have to be that way bro. I have a type s. I have to do that pedal dance thing before I go and drive on a fun road. F that. I hit the button and put it in its reduced mode and that’s good enough for me. Respectfully I feel like I’m too old to be pedal dancing. I feel ridiculous 😂

when I turned over 3k miles on the odometer I did get my sons calipers and measured the pads. The rears are definitely wearing faster. And that’s expected. I just couldn’t believe I could see such a difference so soon. Pads are consumables. So is the clutch. I’m cool with it. The rotation from clamping the rear is great
Oh I was just offering an explanation.

Lol its all good, man.

I wish there was a more simple way to turn off stability control tbh.

Hope your problem is solved with better fluid! That's a simple fix. Good luck

I am in SoCal, cannot comment on cold temps, but this is what I would use for occasional mountain/canyon runs:

Hawk Performance Ceramic HB453Z.585 HB900Z.572

or

Hawk HPS 5.0 HB453B.585 HB900B.572


Bosch ESI6-32N Brake Fluid (DOT5.1)

3 year change interval (ESI = Extended Service Interval)

higher wet boiling point and reduced moisture absorption


a water content tester
