Ok just got my car back after a 538$cdn spent here what they told me concerning asf is becoz yeah while intalling my exhaust i decide that i wanted my tip black so took them off to paint and they say that the sensor were upside down they were still plugged i may have touch them bit during the process so they put back the way it should be, that's what tell told me (sensor rear bumper).The other thing in this they charged me a o2 sensor exhaut they said it was not working properly(it must be me since i did not have that sensor removal tool, so i guess i ruined that sensor. I used a regular key but to be able to reach that nut, i had to cut the heat shield, so they changed it and the problem was all solved.Bottom line to whom that just change suspension and then Vsc flashing all kind light appear just check rear sensor (rear bumper) adjust it back since the front driver sensor are not adjustable.You might move it lil when you were intalling you coilover check that sensor.When something is not right it's like other thing will flash also.That's what i think it is,the worse scenario you will have to spent 1hour at your dealership.Good luck to all.Everything seem to be normal now,

Well thats Great Fast News!!! 
Having the proper O2 sensor removal tool would have made a world of a difference, during the DIY exhaust install.
Those things do not like to be disturbed too much the wrong way.
Lets see some pics of the new drop & new tips!!!

Hi Juan... See below..
Your engine management and maybe even your transmission is controlled by the ECU. As you know, all computers crash, all software have bugs and mechanical equipment fails. As such, many ECU units are fitted with a 'limp home mode'. When it detects that something semi-serious is wrong, it enters the limp mode, which means that the engine won't rev beyond a pre-programmed speed, you can't accelerate very fast, or you may indeed be speed-restricted to 40 mph or similar. The transmission may even stay in one or two gears. Bad? Well, no, not really: The alternative would be to either let you drive at regular speeds, with the danger of letting you trash your car, or stopping you from going anywhere.
