Question Lowered SC300, now ABS light is ON and TRAC OFF light blinks??

Just installed some Bilstein shocks and HKS springs on my 1998 SC300 (auto), and all of a sudden my ABS light came on. At the same time I guess Traction Control becomes not available, so TRAC OFF light blinks ON-OFF every 3-4 seconds as well.

I got car up in the air, checked for anything obvious (disconnected ABS plugs, loose sensors, etc), no luck, all seems nice and tight.

Tried disconnection battery, several times, ABS and TRAC OFF lights come back (everything else resets).

Tried using TRAC OFF switch, but light on the dash doesnt seem to respond.

Any ideas? Thanks for help/advice

Carefully check the wires leading to the sensor and see if got pinched or cut. A distinct possibilty when you lower the car. Another tell tale sign would be, the indicators lit up when you went over a bump.
