If you have the OEM locks, a Nissan or Infiniti dealer can take it off for you.

So yah, I have an '05 with non brembo, I had the triple light problem: reversed the sensors = same problem --> bent the ABS spacers straight"er" = lights went off for a while, then it was every once in a while or whatever...

so I removed the spacers

shipped to SPC

As far as clunking, yup!...

Also went to ATL this weekend and had to soften up the front suspension.... lol BAD IDEA with hard braking! I'll be stiffening them up again today. Wohoo!

I just off the phone with Charley the lead engineer at SPC about the clunking problem and this is the first he has heard about this issue. I talked to Doug, (one of the techs) last week and he was going to forward this issue on to engineering. I was just following up to see what progress was made but obviously none. Charley said that he would look into this matter, so we'll see if there will be a fix for this problem.

I talked to Peter and he knows about the clunking issue. I'll wait to see if they can come up with a fix otherwise I'll get a refund. The refund will be for only the kit only although I'll be out $200 for the install and another $150 for the alignment. Even if they come up with a fix I'll have to spend another $350.

SF shops get a killing for an alignment. I paid $69 after the kit was installed.

so i just installed the arms a few days ago but I just recently noticed that my passenger side camber is SUPER negative.

I'm dropped on Tein Type CS and I previously had the Cuscos but I never would have thought that the camber would be even MORE negative. I only installed the arms and not the spacers as I didn't have time to take apart the brake assembly.

Is there a reason why my camber is more negative on my passenger side vs driver side? I have an even drop so that rules out that case. I do remember when I was installing the arms I had a difficult time getting the cotter pin into the threaded shaft of the A-arm. I kept trying to screw the 17mm nut even higher to give more clearance to the cotter pin hole. You guys think this might be the issue on the passenger side?

Thanks fellas =)
