By other hand, under power on the car behaviour is ok, no problems.
Thanks in advanced!.

12th cars don't brake in a straight line, because they are so easy to throw off line, and then get out of shape, under braking. The power of the brakes on a 3.5 will make the rear go light, one wheel starts to slide, and then it slides away from you. It's pretty much unavoidable. I don't know anyone who uses brakes in their normal driving, and it isn't a fast way round the track.
Make sure your speedo is set with the minimum drag brake setting, or the second setting if using a bonded rotor. Learn to drive without using the brakes, it's faster!!
