installed lowering springs... Now i have an issue.
Before I start, I searched, tried the listed things, checked all connections are plugged in, nothing I can think of fixes my issue, Tried resetting the ECU as well, that did nothing.
I have a 2008 40th anniversary rx8. I recently installed some tanabe NF210 springs. immediately after first start up, i got an abs and tcs light on, and the cruise control doesn't work either.
I checked the things i unplugged, they were all plugged in. I reset the computer using the full left - full right steering method. I still have the lights on.
Anything else you need to know please let me know. I'll check in on this later.
Oh, and before i forget, car drives fine, but the ABS/TCS/Cruise Control Don't work.

Well I tried it both ways, The way i did it backwards was first, then the proper way, neither one worked. I'm assuming i have a bad connection somewhere down the line. I'll be taking it in to the dealer in a few days.

My only thoughts are:
1) Maybe you forgot to unhook a line and dropped the hub
2) Your connections/sensors got dirty and need to be cleaned
3) You are in real bad need of a wheel alignment
Just throwing this out there too... any adjustments to the suspension usually mean you should go get a wheel alignment too for safe measure and even tire wear.

Hmm, well I just installed mine last weekend and had none of these problems. Had a friend help me and held the wheel hub so it didn't fall and pull the ABS line out.

I'll check on #2.
#1 would be very unlikely but possible, I'll look into it too.
