1.check your brake fluid
2. check to see if the abs sensor/line was move/cut during the removal of the wheels
3. check your brake pads

Next weekend, as in 6/20-6/21? You should check them sooner than that, like Monday 6/15, not next Saturday. If your brakes are "weak", then you're taking a bit of a risk in driving it.

^+1, The man speaks the truth.

If you are having a potential problem with your brakes, I wouldn't go driving around normally until the weekend. Why risk it?

I would think that you're having an issue with the ABS, #2 on Glex's list, but check all three, as they are the most likely reasons you're having a problem.

If you had low pads or brake fluid, I would have imagined you'd have the problem with the MMR's on too.

The car is drivable and brakes is ok but ABS.SLIP,VDC light is on, checked all the fluid and everything is ok. Talked to my service3 advisor and he told me that it's a sensor mulfunction. He told me that the car is drivable just need to checked the sensor. brakes are week if i turn the vdc off before moving the car.

Solved the S***ID problem! after all the things I've been thru! the only problem is my reaer tire! Got a new set of tires cause I forgot I only bought used tires before installing mi 20's. But it didn't stop there. I bought A higher size tire on the rear and that makes my brakes to actuate and having a rattliong sound on the passenger side.

First I got 255/45/18, returned them and got 255/35 and solved the problem. So Shawn, check your rear tires and see if it's time for a new set. let me know.

Lol, that's almost a 2" difference in tire size! No wonder the ABS light came on.

And neither size is very close to stock. Stock rear 18's on a Coupe are 245/45-18, or 26.7" in diameter. The 255/45 is over 27" in diameter, and the 255/35 is barely over 25"! I think that's WAY too small. Your speedo is going to be off by over 6%. If you want a 255 width tire, then 255/40 is a much better size than either one you chose. If you still want to maintain roughly the same front/back ratio on tires as stock, you'll need to put something very small up front, like 235/35-18.

Why not stick with 225/45 F and 245/45 R? There's a very good selection of tires in those sizes.
