I didn’t find this quite as challenging with Pagid RSL29 or RSL1. RSL1 seemed to handle the temps of the blue brakes a bit better but didn’t last as long as the 29.

Might be worth trying a pad change before diving into the brake system itself.

Generally though, vs my 2002 and the Chevy SS Sedan I tracked before the M2, the M2 takes a pretty fine level of input to maximize braking but stay out of ABS for me.

I've heard the ABS threshold can be coded higher... I'm guessing that means a higher level of slip before ABS begins to pulse. Have you heard of that before? Is that really an option?
PFC08 and RS/RSL29 behave VERY differently. When some other drivers I know and I switched from RS/RSL29 to PFC08 we were CONSTANTLY engaging ABS till we learned/got used to the different pedal movement required.

PFC08 is much grabbier than RS/RSL29, and is more difficult to modulate, but I like it way better than the RS/RSL29 on my F31. The RS/RSL29 there required too much pedal travel and force before you really felt like you're stopping IMO.
