My SPC A-Arm installation

It shows that installing the spacer did cause the problem. It's a perfect A-B-A test. Installing the spacer makes the lights go on. Uninstalling the spacer makes the lights go back off.
I wonder if anyone has an '05 or '06 where installing the spacers works correctly (no lights)? Does anyone have an '03 or '04 where the spacer installation does not work correctly?
aleok is correct. It is important for everyone with this problem to call Peter at IAP so that he and SPC can isolate the problem.

I duno how to make a poll, but someone shud start one to see who has the kit, with spacers, and if it works correctly or not, but it seems like we're the only ones with the kit, installed, and doesnt work correctly.

Does anyone has this problem wit there spc a arms.... when going over a lil small bump does ur kit hit the top of ur fender wall? Mine did...thats why i heard so much clicking noise after the install. when i took it back to the installer they said they couldnt fix this problem. Another g35 that they installed wit da spc a arms had the same problem. but to make things better for my car they just stiffed up the d spec. Which helped alot

O yeah..when going in reverse does the ABS comes on n drop the brakes on all ur wheels when going in R? Only happens some times. When it does happen the car starts rattling =( I think this has something to do wit those hub spacers they give. The installer told me this cannot be fixed. =(

^ yea i have both problems. i don't really mind the camber arms hitting the fenders, i assume its becasue i'm so low, and can't really be help. it just make me drive very carefully. yea i turned up the stiffness on my coils to help.
its weird when in R, sometime when i'm first leaving my street, and brake stightly, the brakes "act up" and make a weird noise. (when i had the spacers on).
Aznteazer- have you spoken with peter resently? we're all getting new brackets?

Mine are hitting too. This is the most irritating thing for me as I expect the ABS thing to get solved eventually. I'm thinking about replacing my D-specs with Koni's so I can raise the front up a notch, but I'm not sure yet.
