Subject:Re: Red light blinks because of front height?

Javier,

You didn't indicate which red light is blinking. There are several to choose
from, right? I was assuming that the red light would be a brake warning
light indicating that your brake fluid level is too low. The change in
attitude brought about by installing new springs might explain this.
Consistent with this is the fact that the light goes out under braking, when
the front end comes down.

The first thing I would do is check the level of fluid in the brake
reservoir.

Good Luck,

Bruce
