"Low traction" light came on but no traction control?
I was driving the other day and was coming to stop at a light and my low trac light came on...i have a non-traction control car though. There was a slight vibration in the brake pedal when the light came on also...as if the abs have activated momentarily also. It has done this a few times since and im guessing it has something to do with just having the 373's installed...Any ideas?

LOW TRAC right?
That means low traction, obviously (to most of us)
I have ASR and get the light with it switched off.
It's telling you that one or more wheels is going a different speed than the others, which means that one or more wheels has low traction.
Why don't you go outside and start the car, jack one wheel up, put it in drive and spin the one wheel. Or just put bigger tires on the back like a drag set up. Different sized tires will cause the low trac light to come on because the sensors are picking up different speed readings. People race all the time and ignore the light and it has no effect on anything when they have no ASR.
