Default Weird issue when taking off/on ramps..

Installed RCA blocks 30mm all around. If I go a little quicker on off/on ramps, the traction control light starts flashing and won't let me accelerate, don't really want to turn it off every time I start driving.

Anyone else have this?

Chances are that you're having to much of a speed mismatch between wheels on sharp turns and the computer doesn't like it. Solution? Don't lower a luxury vehicle that's already sitting on the ground.

These cars, IMO, are very sensitive to wheel slippage. Chances are you hit a bump on that on ramp and causes the tires to lift and slip a little.

Those are two seperate issues. You are probably running staggered set up on an AWD. My car does the same on tight turns. What size tires are you running?
