So just to be quick and to the point I put an Eibach pro kit on my 2020 Widebody redeye
Shortly after my breakers stated locking up Intermittently. At times even when my foot’s not on the break my rear brake lights are lit up and the car won’t accelerate or go because the brakes are being apply. I’d like to believe it’s something electrical any thoughts has anyone else run into this problem

Maybe the brake switch on the brake pedal needs adjusting. I would check there first. I haven't peeked at mine, but I am assuming there should be an adjustment.

Did this happen before installing the Eibach Kit??

When did it start??

Any other mods??

Did all the Wheel Speed Harnesses get reconnected properly??

If you aren't stepping on the brake pedal and the brakes are applying, could be a false ABS or Stability Control Event and yes, the ABS Unit can apply the brakes on these cars. You might have a faulty Yaw Sensor or G Force Sensor misleading the ABS.

Did you go thru all your Center Console Screens to see if there is anything that does not make sense with respect to Response Times, G Forces, Acceleration Rates, Braking Distance, etc?? See if one mor more of these readings are out of wack. The various on-board sensors provide data to these reading.

Did the Dealer check stored Trouble Codes??

So it worked fine, you put on the springs, then they no longer worked?????????? Who put the springs on? I would most def check around each spring to see what WAS damaged then.

Agree with borden72. Reads like the brake light switch is being activated which if the brakes are applied -- and the brake light being activated I think signals this to the ECM -- the throttle can be ignored or if pressed can be closed and the car slows.

I encounter this IIRC when after a car wash and I try to drive at speed -- legal speed -- and while maintaining speed with the throttle apply the brakes to heat them up to dry them. I have to resort to just performing a bedding in process by accelerating the car to speed then applying the brakes and then accelerating back up to speed and applying the brakes and doing this one or two more times. Not as aggressive bedding in procedure as with new brakes just using the brakes enough to get the hardware hot and to dry the hardware completely.

Brakes are a safety issue. Take it to the dealer
