Help....DSC/ TCS Light comes on when driving

The past few times I have driven my 2004 RX-8 the DCS/ TCS light comes on and stays on until I take turn the ignition off and then back on. I can drive 2 miles or so and the light will come back on. What could cause this? The light comes on during normal driving around 30-40 miles. The only modifications done to this area of the car are staggered 19" Axis Hiros and Tein S-Tech springs. I'm at a loss on this....can someone give me some advice?

where are you and what size are the tires? the car does not know what size rims you have but it will try to figure out what size tires...

figured it out today. my left front wheels has changed not only camber but toe. if my steering wheel is straight the right wheel is straight and the left wheel is cocked outward. i have noticed this the last few times but i had no idea it was off that much. it had to be getting progressivley worse. how could this of happened? I just had it aligned and never hit any pot holes. could something be loose? also my steering creaks alot.

if you have left front wheels that is your problem..

if the wheel is as stated, it does not matter how it got that way in needs to be fixed... dont fix the blame, fix the problem....

btw, you did not mention the ? i asked.. what are the tire sizes?
