Receive your magazine and just did the DBA 5000/4000 rotors, hawk pads and stainless lines.  Upon restarting the car, I am getting all three of the below service messages on my DIC.  Was there any similar issues on the subject car that you document in that article?

From GM Techlink:

"Stainless Steel Brake Hoses

Owners of some Corvettes have experienced Service ABS, Service Active Handling and Service Traction Control messages. Wheel speed sensor codes may be set. This condition may be caused by replacing the OEM rubber brake hoses with aftermarket stainless steel brake hoses.

It is believed that the metal in the brake lines conducts static electricity, causing confusion in the wheel speed sensors. The brake hoses must be returned to original rubber ones before the case can be investigated. This is a customer pay expense."
