Default Are my new stiffer sways screwing with VDC?

I recently installed Hotchkis sways *. I was coming out of a turn, gave it some (not WOT) gas and the rear end tried to slide out. I lessened the throttle and corrected, I could see the VDC light flash on the dash. No big deal. My first thought was I had turned off VDC only to realize it was on, I had forgotten to turn it off, like usual.

I thought the VDC would not allow you to break loose like this (giving it too much throttle) while in a turn. It has cut my throttle before I could break loose. Are my new stiffer sways screwing with VDC?

I realize whatever happens it is my fault. I am driving. I just thought the training wheels that are the VDC, would have deployed.
