Question Stability System and Lowering

Does anyone know if you have to reprogram the stability system if you use drop spindles? I'm getting stability system warning lights when I make right and left turns past about 40 degrees. Speed is irrelevant.
This is not ABS, the "low traction" message does not light, so there is not a sensor issue.
The drop spindles lower the axle centerline in relation to the center of mass, so I assume the calculation for roll and yaw are changed and this maybe is causing the stability system to mistake regular turns for skids.
Anyway, I Googled it and found a few people that report stability system lights with lower spindles, not springs (which makes sense, right).
So, anyone heard of this, and is there a software fix?
