    Sounds like you stress the car a good bit.  Not a bad thing-- I used to 
auto-x and do drivers schools, etc myself, so BTDT.  Have you checked for 
stress-related damage to the calipers, their mountings, or of all things, the 
pedal bracket??  I once had symptoms of air in a clutch line that turned out 
to a cracked pedal bracket.

Brake, don't break...
