Pics?

I had one of my rear pads disintegrate into sludge at about 30K miles while I was driving down the road not even braking. The $hit got all over my wheels and in the wheel wells. It was a mess. Chalked it up to random manufacturing defect.

I put in another set of OEM rear pads and after <40K they are pretty much toast in terms of wear. Meanwhile, I have 50K miles on slotted front rotors and Hawk Performance Ceramic pads, which look like they are still at 60-70% life remaining. I turn off VDC pretty much every time I drive, but ABLS still kicks in the rear brakes when wheel slip is detected. I'm assuming this is what eats up my rear pads.
