I talked to the guys over at TH Motorsports and just to clarify, they were not the ones who installed the kit and did not tell me to reset the cpu. That was a local installer in my area. THMotorsports told me that a lot of the noise was from my springs moving around not my camber kit. I lifted to car the other day to see where the arms might be hitting and I saw no indication of any contact on the arms. I was told that sometimes, depending on the coils, they can move around and make it sound like knocking. I don't know how much of this is true but after lifting my car to see for myself, I tend to agree. Like I said, I only hear noises when I am making a sharp turn or when I hit a substantial bump or pothole. Going back to the installer tomorrow to see about the ABS and VDC problem. Will keep you posted.

Truman,
That issue should be worked out with the re-installation of these. The lights should come off. Your knocking, like we talked about is the spring rotating on the perch seat. Let me know if you need more help.
Spooze,
Thanks so much buddy. Your new revised set has been shipped out.

There is no need for the computers to be reset, if you think about it, nothing about the sensor has been changed only the location. The spacers adds 2* degrees of positive camber and the arms adds 1* which gives a total of 3*. If 1* can get back into spec you can go without the spacers although the spacers will give alot more flexability if you change your setup. SPC allowed me to keep their spacers and the 350EVO's get 1* of positive camber although with the spacer, I get a full 3*.
Peter at IAP who his an authorized SPC dealer took care of many of our forum members who bought from him although, I know nothing about THMotorsports. With THMotorsports telling you that the computer has to be reset I'm not to sure how much they know about these arms or they are just trying to pass the buck? If they won't resolve the issues, I would contact SPC directly since they know the problems with these arms and see if they would be willing to help you.

It's difficult to see a mark on the arms because depending wears it's hitting. The under fender liner is plastic so it won't leave a mark although if the noise is more dramatic like mine was, my arms were hitting the upper front side of the fender leaving small mark in the middle top front of the arms.

I was the test G for SPC for the front arms. The first revised arms, they changed the angle of the arms. The final revision they made the arms narrower and a little shorter, the end result I believe was a lost of around .5* of positive camber for a total of 3* with the use of the spacer. This spec was from where I get my car aligned which means that arms alone would give you 1*.
Originally, I had clearance problems on the front top side of the arms hitting the fender because of the slope. That was the reason for the angle and size change although in my particular case because of my Swift spring being softer than oem on high velocity bumps the arms were able to move fully up and hit at the end of the arms. The oem bump stops are too soft to limit the upward movement before they hit. SPC believes that most setups should be fine with their revised arms and because I had a somewhat unusual setup they wanted try to get mine to work assuming I had an extreme case.
