Default Braking Issue

Still learning my way around the firebird, but I'm having issue with my brakes.

I installed new pads and rotors on the front, brakes are bled and work fine under ~60 mph.

I noticed at the track that if I'm over 100mph and try to brake hard, it grabs, slips, grabs like ABS is kicking in.

Is this normal or not?

do the rears to, bad rear rotors can cause all kinds of strange reactions from the ABS system.

Any chance it's the typical pad knockback these cars experience? If so, lightly tapping the brakes down the stretch prior to entering your braking zone will typically help remedy that issue.
