Default Newly installed Zeals & Battle Version pieces...VDC OFF and Slip lights

Hi again everyone! Well just installed a set of Zeal Function Xs coilovers and Battle Version Camber/Toe arms. Went to take her for a spin and the VDC Off and Slip lights came on. NO ABS light. My assumption is that my specs are now whack and throwing the computer into overload thus throwing the lights. Once I take her in to get an alignment, all should be well and lightless haha! Can anyone shed some light on my situation and assumption. Here's some teaser pics for fun...

Battle Version Camber/Toe Arm custom powdercoated to match Zeals...


Rear setup...


Front setup...


Thanks for any help!

Take care

I have read that it is normal after a rear camber kit install, a simple alignment will fix the problem. Looks sweet!

I've never heard of mis-alignment causing problems with TCS, VDC or ABS. My guess is that you disconnected or damaged one of the wheel speed sensors and that is what is tripping the lights.

Dave- That's what I was worried about...the wheel speed sensor. I know of 2 speed sensors, one on each shock/spring combo on the front. Is there any speed sensors for the rear? I'll go and double check the fronts and look for any damage. I'm assuming 'I'll know it when I see it' as far as visible damage. To the untrained eye (me), is there anything special I should look for? My guess is if I gotta replace the sensors I'm looking at $500+? Thanks for the help Dave!

Also thanks to everyone else for the comments and compliments! Can hardly wait to get all this sorted out and back roaming the streets ...

Take care

All four wheels have speed sensors. The rears are not on the wheel if I recall, but back near the pumpkin on the shafts.
