Likely the same issue. One of the sensors was probably damaged during the spring swap. I seem to remember that issue being reported when the first lowering kits were being installed a few years ago.

The F-Type has height sensors connected to your lower control arm. They serve multiple functions, from providing the DSC a reading about the load on a specific corner to failsafe to AWD cars. When the senor reports a low height on AWD cars it goes as far as disabling AWD and go in 2WD to protect the shafts, on other cars it can and will disable dynamics.

Check the right front height sensor, or you simply lowered it too much

Aha, it's an SVR, that might explain the problem!
The SVR has some different suspension components compared to an F-Type R, and I think different calibration of the active suspension.

Had the car lowered with the shop that done the lister f type, the springs are the same as that which are the KW lowering springs, spoke with the chap at kw and he assured me they had the right ones. I think the only difference is awd & rwd.
Car going back to the shop later in the week. Anyone here had there svr lowered?

As unhingd predicted the problem was with the hight sensor, something they had done during the installation of the springs. Thanks for the replies

The front offside sensor got disturbed during the installation of the springs, in your case it could be a faulty sensor.

Did you end up replacing the ride height sensor? If so did you have to get the dealer to re-calibrate it?

Hi Ryan
My problem was just a loose connection on the ride height sensor
