Traction Control flashing.. lowered my car today

bRYANT619 · 11-12-2016, 05:20 PM

Has anyone else experienced their traction control light flashing after having the car lowered/alignment out of spec.

I just lowered the car on H&R Super Sports myself today. My alignment is really off at the moment and I noticed when on the highway, if I'm turning/going around a left curved ramp/overpass my traction control light blinks for a brief moment until the car straightens out.

Plan on getting my alignment done Monday and I hope this will fix my issue?

Alignment is a big part of it. Stiffer spring rates may cause the traction light come on in situations where it normally wouldn't.

I recently lowered my F30 on Bilstein coilovers and had the same thing happen until I got the alignment done.
