DSC off = Faster Rear Pad Wear?

I’ve finally gotten to know the M2 well enough to start running DSC Off at the last few track events. It was transformative as far as m experience with this car on track, so I intend to keep doing so on familiar tracks when it’s dry.

One thing I’ve noticed though, is I went from using up front pads slightly faster than rears, to front pads lasting the 10 or so days I’m used to, but rear pads are only good for 5-6 days.

Has anyone else experienced this? I’m wondering whether this is coincidental and my rear calipers need some attention, or if the rear brakes are still assisting in controlling wheel spin, and without DSC managing throttle, the rear brakes are just working harder.

I’m running square 265/35/18 RS4s, Pagid RS29s, and SRF in an LCI with stock calipers and rotors. Different tire (Bridgestone S007) before I started running DSC off, but otherwise same setup all year.

Related question; what’s everyone else’s front vs rear pad life? Even? Fronts go first? Rears?
