Plus, I just honestly don’t think I can go back, I never liked those OEM parts for the track, their performance certainly plummets when they get hot, I don’t even like those pads for the street anymore to be honest.

Most guys running OE Ferodos are not having ice mode issues. Only a few, for whatever reason, and that seems to bring alot of attention. Honestly, go for DS2500s or DS1.11s. And slow your throttle to brake transition, it does seem super quick.
Driver induced ice mode, whether it's technique, tire or pad choice, is solvable.
Track surface induced, is a little bit more difficult to solve except to be more gentle on the pedal.
Something to also note, cold fade. A high temp pad needs heat to work properly to get in the adherent friction zone of operation. If the pad is asked to work hard when temps are still low, while the pad is in abrasive friction mode, then sometimes the pedal feel is similar to ice mode. Hard pedal with limited decel rate.
This hard pedal feel/slow decel can also appear by way of another scenario: inadequate transfer layer on the rotors (the brakes were not bedded in).
In your experiences of ice mode, are the brakes up to temp or are they still cold?
