I can't see that you would have a calibration issue after changing the brakes. I've got the same set up (322mm front with upgraded 328mm rear). I'd say it's more likely the ABS sensor was damaged or dislodged during the install. Just a guess though - someone else may have direct experience with the issue. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The clue came when the CEL also turned on a day after the DSC first started playing up and the car started rough idling. Guys at Dyno-mite were very quick to sort it out, car & brakes are working perfectly now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MitchJ New Member 8 Member For: 3y 7m 24d Posted 08/11/20 04:57 AM Share Posted 08/11/20 04:57 AM Think they checked if the sensor was fouled or not and then they reflashed the ECM. The throttle body on mine was particularly dirty and as I understand (correct me if I clearly don't understand) the transition of it going from being putrid to spotless was too much for the computer to re-adjust for.
