Larry, are the "eyebrows" yer foolin with replacement parts, ie could they be fabbed a little out of spec? Don't know if there were any mods up there between early/late models, doubt it, but maybe there's a mismatch?

On the LRP thing, a wet LRP is a very slippery LRP; they really need to pave the place. I don't drive if it's wet anymore, just ain't no fun with all that guardrail so close by, and good 914 sheet metal getting scarce. In addition, LRP is a very "technical" drive, what with the concrete strips, esses and the two turning elevation changes. Master that place and you will be in good stead elsewhere.

On your brakes thing, have you had the car corner balanced / aligned recently? Tire pressures equal and at mfr recommended levels? Did you give them a couple laps to warm up before you stuck your foot in it? Are you adding throttle smooooothly?

Due, I guess, to the brake mods, I've had to install an adjustable brake proportioning valve in my car cuz the rear brakes lock up before the front at the end of the main straight. Don't want the car turning before I crank the wheel...
