Anyone had problem with vdc/slip/brake coming on after the wheel spacer install? What causes this to come on?

have H&R 10mm spacers, never had issues with VDC.

unless you have crazy amount of camber/toe, I don't quite understand how a spacer would make VDC engage, spacer just pushes the wheel outward.

Spacers shouldn't be a problem unless you accidently damaged one of the wheel speed sensors while installing them (highly unlikely though).

What size are your tires? Were you running the same wheels/tires without the spacers and no problems?

VDC only cares about overall diameter.

Tire size problems would only cause the Slip light to come on, usually randomly. All three lights on indicates a failure in the system.

You might want to check your brake fluid level.

Low fluid should only cause the Brake light to stay on.

I should mention, those 3 lights will come on if you put your car on a dyno, or if you go drifting / doing donuts

So the wheel spacers are not cause of this lights to come on then? Cuz I plan to take them off before I take it to the dealership on wednesday. Im afraid they're going to void my brake/vdc warranty.
