I got my SPC front a arms installed today to go with my stance coilovers.

These damn things always set off the ABS light, and lock the brakes.

HAS anyone gotten this kit to work?
I called TH Motorsports, which is where i ordered from, and they dont have anything to say about it...

It may have ruined my abs sensors... which sucks.

So does anyone know how to get this to work properly??
It has these retarted shins that space the hubs out. Are those necessary?
Thanks

now here is something for a little humor:

The top control arm is my new one, the bottom the old one. Spot the problem! haha.

wow..what a difference! Glad you got your problem taken care of. Sharif is an awesome resource to have on this forum. He definitely contributes to the Z community.

yeah its pretty funny haha even the bushing is ripped off.

Anyway, im glad sharif helped me out. He was exactly right. The funny thing is, Brian and Ray both told me the same exact thing in the beginning of this ordeal. I called TH motorsports (which is where i got the SPC arms from) and i was told that "they are required for the design... the mechanic should just follow the instructions..."
So i told ray that and they installed them. Now i feel stupid for doing that cause brian and ray knew what they were talking about...

(brian and ray are from MA Motorsports. Ray is the owner and brian is who installed my suspension. Check here, My final review on MA-Motorsports)

I installed them myself, and at first I have the, ABS and TCS lights on. After a few call to SPC, I realize the problem. As I still have my hub spacer on with no ABS or TCS, lights lit up. The problem is not the spacer itself,but it's the position of the ABS sensor after it is installed with the "L" Bracket. I forget the exact measurement, but the ABS sensor have to be only a few thousands of a inch away from the magnet strip in the hub. One thousands of a inch off, will throw the ABS light. I got my light to turn off after a few times moving the "L" brackets around.

yeah that would have fixed it, but im running my car wihtout the spacer now. I have a bit of negative camber, but thats ok. Id rather do that then take a risk of locking my brakes while going 50 on a highway again.
that was scary

I took the spacer off and mine has been fine for a few months now. It freaked me out too, Luckily the shop that put them on aligned it for free the next day.

i think its a design problem. that spacer is a good idea, but the L bracket is way too flimsy...

^Word^

Also it have to much up and down play, for sometime that need a exact position, and the install instructions suck.

yeah. its something that needs to be 100% exact... but is too flimsy lol.
