Has my VDC lost its edge?
Well for the last week or so my vdc has lost its edge. It seems to be overreacting or something. The story/situation:
Ive been driving on normal roads. Roads that i drive on all the time. They arent the newest of roads, but still in good condition(not potholes, fairly even). As im taking turns on some of them the slip light comes on and the vdc starts braking my front tires. It makes noise like im braking hard, while trying to turn ( shoving through turns). Thing is that im taking the turns at decent speeds, all less than 55 and ive taken them this speed or greater before and nothing happened.
since its started, ive been testing the same roads w/vdc off at the same speeds and im not detecting any slip, just normal driving.
on last nights drive with vdc on, i was taking a simple curve at like 55 mph and vdc detected slip and hit the front brakes. Then for like a split second it let off the brakes but then got back on them. It rocked the car back and fourth and made for a uncomfortable ride.
Should i take it into the nissan to check it out?
note: i have tokico dpecs (1.5 turn from firm, very close to stock) with eibach pro kit springs, and hotchkis sways. Have had these on for about a month and a half and nothing has happened until just last week. I also have touring 18 rims with the stock Potenzas on the front and Azenis st115 on the back.

Check your tire pressures.
When I ran JIC coilovers on my G coupe, I had to turn the VDC off if I wanted to drive like a normal citizen, even in commuting. VDC just won't work w/ aftermarket suspension, at least on the G...
