brake problem after coilover install

Hey guys I just installed the bc coilovers, I did the front first removed the sensors as guided and did tge full installation, once I dropped the front I turn the car around and as the brakes did not work at first iwas like wtf!!. Pumped it twice and it went back to normal , I paid no atention since I think the sensor that we removed (not unplugged just moved it out of the way and def didnt damage at all) is the ABS , everything went well with the install but when I took the car for a test ride the brakes are making noise like if im applying the pedal slightly. Should I reset the ecu to see if thos helps to reset the ABS system

ABS wouldn't make a noise like you're describing... does it still brake fine? its possible you got some debris in the caliper... but that wouldn't explane why you lost pressure. I'd do a very thorough check for leaks in the brake lines, make sure to check the hardlines also.

if it still brakes fine, and after checking for debris and leaks, i'd go out an do a few hard stops, like a bedding in the brake pads kinda deal... do you still have stock pads?
