same story here, revised arms + spacers = abs/vdc/slip. i'm going to try moving the sensor around some.

how long do you have to drive before the lights shut off, if all is good?

I installed the spacers and I got the VDC, SLIP and VDC lights. The lights went out after turning the car off but I've gotten the lights three times since the install but they always reset themselves. I went 4 weeks without a knock but it's there now. The knock occurs when I hit medium bumps, pot holes or man hole covers. The knock sounds like a bad shock bottoming out. The coilovers are new and were installed with the SPC arms.

If you adjust the sensors properly, the lights will remain off immediately.

so with the bracket, theres a couple mm play left or right. i just bolted the bracket up. I dont understand why it wouldnt be right from the start??? WTF. nothing was bent or abused.

is really the only way to determing the correct postion by pulling the hub again and the plastic piece?

You don't have to pull the hub. Make sure the wheel spees sensor bracker is lined up in the middle of the round pick up ring on the back of the hub.

I too have the same problem with the three lights and will try the sensor re-alignment this weekend. Can someone explain how to align the sensor? Should I remove the sensor and re-install it or just loosen the bolt and find it's sweet spot?

Loosen the bolt and try to keep it centered on the pick up ring while you tighten it.

Cool, thanks for the quick reply guys. Should I keep the display lights on and have someone monitor them until they turn off or does it have to be turned off so that it resets when turned on?

im wondering the same thing that that guy^ asked...If the sensors line up correctly the light will turn off immediately. Im assuming theres 2 sensors so it would only turn off once both are in the right position right?

Hello Guys,

Thought I would chime in here. The spacers included with the SPC kit are designed to increase camber adjustment by 2 degrees. When doing so, you must install the abs sensor spacers to keep the spacers exactly where they were before the installation. The sensors are very sensitive and must be in the same location to pickup the signal from the hub.

Therefore, if the sensor spacers are simply bolted up, you will be fine. If the spacers are bent during installation, the sensors will not be positioned correctly and your dash will light up. If you are having this issue, the spacers were not properly installed so take your vehicle back to the installation shop and ask that it be corrected.

Please PM me if you have any questions. I will be more than happy to assist.
