Problems with VDC

With lowering your G with coilovers, will the VDC light come on (malfunctioning) and if so how to resolve this issue. Read this in the OEM manual.

Lowering the car doesn't really have anything to do with the vdc. If your vdc light is on and staying on until you shut off your car, it most likely has something to do with the brakes. Either your brake fluid is low, or your brakes are getting to the point where they need to be changed.

Op! If your toe is way out of wack it will trigger the VDC light to stay on. Did you get an alignment yet? If not, I strongly advise you to get an alignment ASAP.

I didn't know that.

Learn something new every day.

By trigger you mean wheels start to slip due to the alignment not being right, correct?

Yup. I know 2 guys who did a suspension install via diy along with the toe bolt. One almost didn't made it home because the toe was so out of wack and constantly kicking out his rear end. The other was smarter, he didn't drove on the freeway till he got an alignment. Both had their VDC light on solid.
