My thought is with VDC off, the ABLS still actives braking during wheel slip. But it's very easy to over power, so that's what leads me to believe it is light braking and shouldn't wear down the rears super quick. I wheel slip a lot and I do not have any issues with the rear pad wear.

It sounds like some think that VDC on brakes when you start to lose traction. But I believe the engine just cuts power. I don't think VDC on actually brakes... It does brake. That's also ABLS's job, which it does regardless of whether VDC is on or off.
