Rear wheels jumping under heavy braking

Spooler

If your drive aggressive and have traction control on it will wear the rear pads out quicker because it uses the rear brakes for traction and stability control.

Thanks Spooler,
I thought that might be the case although I always enable the (partial) traction control button in the car before I set off anywhere. I do realise it only really stops the engine being cut when stabilty is lost and it will still use the brakes.

With the VDC. When the rear starts to step out. It will apply a rear brake caliper to straighten the car out. A lot of times. It's in the WRONG direction. Had this happen when I first started doing trackdays. Had an instructor in the Z with me. Was doing good, and he told me to pick up the pace. So I did. The one turn, I tried to square off the turn some. The rear just started to come out some like I wanted. Next thing I know. We was pointed in the wrong direction and the instructor yelling at me for hitting the brakes mid turn. I had to show him the video play back from my GoPro in the pits on what happened.
