Don't quite understand this function,with the PSM off do you get excessive brake wear if your lead footing all day like on the track or even around town,seems with my latest round of mods i can get the PSM light to come on at will .But concerned about loosing control with it off,but don't want to wear out my brakes twice as fast,as i have a track day this weekend.

I always leave the PSM on at the track it only rarely lights up.

i'm not sure psm light has to light up for it to be working. i rarely see it flicker, prob because with my very aggressive set up if i get to the limit my attention is really needed elsewhere! but i do know that the rear pads get worked really hard because psm is kicking in when the car yaws very quickly (very annoying thing about psm). basically, there's no way around brake wear, just swap out to steels if u care about saving money.

To be clear (for neophytes), push the button turns if off. Leaving the button alone leaves it on, though the light flickers when its actually working. Right?
