My VDC has been going off, the car doesn't seem quite as stable and I do feel the slip. Here's what I've done.
Got rid of the rear tires and put on some new Toyo's. Balanced all four. Did a 4 wheel alignment.
I can't figure out what the problem is. I thought maybe the rear new tires need some time to break in but it still doesn't explain the slip and the VDC kicking in as often as it does.
I have to reduce my tire pressure because the alignment guys bumped it way up but, I don't think that's the final problem either. Anyone have any ideas?

what size tires did you put on? I have heard of some issues with different diameter tires.

Stock size is 225/45-18 and 245/45-18
Having the rear tires too small may be the problem. Maybe it thinks you are always slipping, even though the stagger is still there. Can you swap out the tires for the correct size?
-D'oh!

I believe the problem may be with my right front. When I had the guys balance the tire, something must have gone wrong. This tire was previously curbed and repaired. After a few days of driving, I'm noticing a thumping sound at high speed and, I think I've isolated the VDC kicking in and the ABS working on the front right.
Think I'lll take it into the dealership to verify that this is the problem and try rebalancing the front wheels again.
Thanks for the posts gents.
