Abs and Traction Control Issues

Recently installed coilovers a few months ago and just started having issues with the ABS and Traction control light. It only happens when I drive longer distances like 25Miles+ then my abs light and traction control light would come on and then my cruise control would not also work. Would this be an issue due to the coilovers? When i turn the car back off then on the lights go away and start functioning again until i start driving the long distances again.

I do crunches every morning so my abs are great. Too much beer to be ripped, though.

I've heard that changing the rake of the car (difference in ride height between front/back) can mess with the sensors and set off some lights. Check that.

In my experience, traction control, ABS, Cruise Control, are all controlled by your brake or ABS module. Either your ABS or Brake module has gone bad, or your wheel speed sensor has gone bad(the wheel speed sensors relay wheel speed information to your ABS or Brake module). You might have knocked a wheel speed sensor out of spec while installing your coilovers. Hope this helps.
