ok let me start by saying that i bought the coils from IMPORT IMAGE i think is the name really nice guy and good to do business with.... so to the fun part the install went without a hitch except for me hitting my door on something in y garage and getting a nasty scratch dent on it.. and after the ride is gret the drop is great all is well EXCEPT my damn ABS light came on and the little car skidding light also. i dunno whats up ne info would be much help

i have a AP and i tried to reset the codes but stayed on and also i unhooked the battery and its still on
 
i'm going to say you probably broke a wire or a sensor while doing the install. a shop should be able to run the code for what the issue is, or you can just start wheel by wheel looking for physical problems. if you don't see anything then you'll have to get it scanned.
 
according to what I found on the other forum, the first code means that the 2nd code is requesting the light to be on... but I can't find anything about the 2nd. ima keep lookin.

edit: looks like a right front sensor circuit failure... check out that wheel and see what you find. mind you I'm researching this online so my info is as good as what I'm finding.

you broke your abs sensor. i did the same thing when i installed my springs. they are right behind where the strut goes into the nuckle.
 
if you dont take it out when you switch your struts, you usually hit it with something trying to get the strut to break free from the knuckle. in my case it was the 2x4 i was using. i hit it with the hammer and it split and broke the sensor.
 
Damn, that sucks. Okay guys, remember when you're install new springs/shocks/coilovers to remove everything because taking out the assembly.
 
ok update here i went got the car aligned today and while the guy was under there i asked him to just take a look and like i said before BLAMO........ the right abs plug... was not plugged in so i went to my trusty COBB AP and reset my codes and bling blamo im in good shape false alarm........ now i feel like a gay ass newb
