Default Active handling warning with ABS warning

Finished Eradispeed rotor install today.




Eradispeed +2 rear rotors with stock semi-metallic pads and Black Metallic powder coated calipers and brackets. Stipped clear coat and polished OEM thin spokes with Ebay chromed center cap and OEM size decal.





Front Eradispeed Plus Rotors. Polished lettering.




Tires are Nitto Invo's in stock sizing.

After cleaning up I started the car to back out of the garage and received a Active Handling Warning and ABS warning . The car really did not want to move: Oh, the wheels are still chocked. I get out of the car to remove the wheel chocks from the rear tires... I did remove them. Get back in the car and go to back up... to much clutch required to move... WTF. Stick my head out the window and look at the front tires... they are three inches of the ground... did I really leave the floor jack after pulling the jack stands? Yes I did. Backed that car up at least four inches on a floor jack.
After I removed the jack the Active Handling and ABS warning disappeared when I started the car again. All is well with the install. Smart car, stupid mechanic.

Next project is lowering 3/4 inch, Z06 shocks or Bilstein Sports, Z51 sways and replace end links. Wrapped up with a Pfadt street alignment.

Nice wheels and brakes.

I liked looking at the stripped and polished thinspokes and the black calipers. I think I will try that. Yours came out great.

Thank you. I really like the color of polished aluminum. If have to tel you it becomes somewhat of an obsession. Beware these wheels are a lot of work to keep them nice.
