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... that's ABLS job, which it does regardless of whether VDC is on or off.

It really depends on the driver. Get someone who does not know how to drive properly and it will activate more wearing the pads more. It is actually the same for brakes in general. Some folks can wear them down in 20K miles and others they are good to over 50K. I am talking about on the street, not the track. VDC does activate the brakes, especially the rear. Even though you turn off VDC, it is never really off.
