btw, when referring to the "bracket" can someone point out exactly what you guys are talking about?

it's the one circled in red. good to know the new brackets work at least.

 

Hey yun got ur evos yet?

 

they barely shipped monday after u called them. haha. just gotta wait it out.

 

For this "bracket" does everyone who has the SPC arms have to get it even if they are not experiencing some of the problems listed here? Just curious and TIA.

 

The bracket was replaced with the same bracket to those that bented them during installation. What SPC changed what the lock nut washer that was twisting the bracket while tightening causing the bracket to bend. When they installed mine they realized they needed to be very careful and when they went to attach the sensor they didn't fully torque it down but just enough as to be secure.

Although, I don't have any sensor problems I do have issues with my arms hitting and I know SPC is looking into this problem. I'm hopeful they can find a fix for this problem as there are a number of us who have this issue.

Peter at IAP has been very helpful during this process and I commend him for doing whatever he can to make it right.

 

What a disappointment this kit has been. I installed my new ABS sensor brackets over the weekend and the light is still on. In fact, the grinding noise from the brakes is worse. Not to mention that my car has to have a horrible ride now due to the fact that the shocks are set really firm to cut down on the knocking. The only thing that prevents me from returning to stock is the amount of money it will have cost me to put the kit on and then remove it.

I wish I had never purchased this kit and do not recommend it to anyone.

 

Wish me luck...I'll install front and back by this coming weekend.

By the way, what causes knocking sound? From the car being too low?

 

^Yes, if you are lowered enough, the top of the A-arm will hit the underside of the fender. It's not like I'm slammed either. I'm dropped 1.2 inches in the front with RS*R 350Z springs.

Oh, and good luck! Let us know your results.

 

^^ I'm only dropped 1" and I hit. SPC and my installer have talked about this clearance issue. I have plans to take my car in either by the end of this week (my car is in the shop getting a new bumper) or the first of next week and see if my installer can fix the problem that SPC seems to think might be causing the problem.

I'll keep you guys posted on what happens.

 

^^^ Please and thanks!

Two more questions by the way, do I need to install spacers on my 06 G Coupe? What does it do?

Thanks!

 

With the spacers installed you are able to adjust in for more positive camber. With arms only, my guess of about 1 degree of positive camber can be adjusted in. The spacers are wedged shaped with the top being thicker than the bottoms which automatically adds positive camber. With the spacers installed you can get up to 3.5 degree of positive camber also, with them installed they will push your wheel out about 5mm. In my case that was a good thing because I had alot of room and it filled out my wheel well a bid more. I also installed the spacers because if I ever wanted to change springs to go to a lower drop, I knew that I had plenty of adjustment for positive camber.

If you don't have any clearance for your wheels to be pushed out a bit and 1 degree of positive camber would get you where you want to be then I wouldn't install the spacers.

Hope this helps and good luck.

FYI the spacers are installed behind the wheel hub.

 

^^ Thanks big bunch to you!

If you don't drop it low enough to need the spacers, I wouldn't install them. I'm on 350Z S-Techs and I don't need the spacers.

 

I have Eibach Prokit on my car; I assume I don't need to install those spacers then.
