I have aftermarket springs on my car, and so in order to get them on there i had to undo this sensor. When i put it back, i put it back just like it was, and now my dash light for the leveling sensor is always on. Is there a fix for this with lowering springs?

The lowering springs do not affect the position sensors.

You may have damaged your sensors or wiring; either the front or the rear.

Maybe you can take some pictures and let everyone have a look

they're only on the drivers side, correct?

i don't think i damaged them... i was very careful with them.

Yes, driver's side front and rear. Did you disconnect them or just set them aside?
Are you sure that the sensor arm is in the correct position?
There's also a lot of information in this TSB

I had my connectors sealed up to prevent corrosion.

Its a known problem with people who lower their springs because the sensor is on the rear anti-roll bar.
Read through the "RX8 Interesting Facts" list.... its on there:

Yes, lowering can affect headlight aim but should not cause a warning light.
The common cause of the headlight aim warning light is corrosion. Water gets in through the connector.
The second leading cause is improper installation....

Ahh... I see.

ok, the light is still on. i've attached some pictures of the front and the rear. everything looks normal to me. keep in mind... this only occured immediately after i installed my lowering springs and the light has been on ever since.

the first three are the rear sensor, from the back of the car.

???

bump

anyone?

Hmm... after debating whether or not to revive this.. I think I will.
Have you figured it out?

Looks like that front sensor connector is a bit dirty.. may want to pull it off, and have a look inside to see if the connections are corroding?
