Bend something to get it in spec? That doesn't sound good. What would they bend?

 

i dont know i forgot what he said ...i wasnt really paying attention to him...but he said it wouldnt affect the arms tho.

 

only mod i kno of cusco is grinding more space to give u positive adjustment. nothing about bending.

those of u with the knocking problem, how much are u guys dropped?

any updates peter@iap?

 

1.3 front & 1.0 rears =(

 

i don't really know if is the camber arms, or what, but its only when i hit pot holes. and it a really really hard thump. i'm dropped about 3-3.5"

 

im bummed out.

 

why?

 

1.2" front. Making my Tokico D-Specs more firm up front helped a lot. Took a few miles for them to settle into the new setting, but it seems to be holding the A arm away on most bumps.

Now to get the ABS sensor fixed.

BTW I have 19 X 8.5 up front and 19 X 9.5 in the back. Does anyone know if the width of these wheels or the staggered setup would prevent the car from tracking straight with a proper alignment? My car pulls to the right and the alignment shop says the car is aligned correctly. Thay are saying that the width of the tires is causing the car to follow the crown of the road, but I swear it does this on a flat surface.

 

this thread explains why..


archangel, i have 19x9.5 front 19x10.5 rear and my alignment is straight. car goes straight fine.
i have about 1.75" drop in the front and no hitting yet. maybe my shocks are too stiff to notice the bumps.

 

Making my shocks stiff was really effective against the hitting. If you want to hear a really nasty noise, go full soft on your shocks for a day.

So the crown of the road doesn't make your car drift towards the side of the road?

 

Ok, SPC has spent some serious time analyzing this situation. The first thought was there might have been a part change during one of the year transitions. They have compared the Nissan part numbers on all of the parts in question and state that all model years use the same part numbers.

They brought an 03 in and installed the kit and did not have any problems at all with the sensors. The engineers at SPC started to think about any possible installation error and came up with the possiblity of overtightening the sensor bracket. So they tried this and in doing so bent the bracket far enough to wear the sensor would not work.

Therefore, they think the issue may lay in tightening the sensor bracket. The next step is having one of the installed brackets mailed in for inspection. I am going to contact Aleok to ask him to mail them in. As soon as they receive them, they will compare them to the uninstalled brackets to see if they are bent enough to cause the sensor not to work.

I really appreciate everyones patience and will keep all of you updated on the progress.

 

How about the camber arms hitting the fender wall? Could this be fix or nah?

 

The fix for that is to raise the car.

 

awwwww man i loved the way my car looks. Guess i gotta buy some coils now

 

I'm dropped almost 1" and I'm having the issue with the arms hitting when I hit a bump. I don't feel a 1'" drop is that significant where I should be having this problem. You get a camber kit because you are dropped and what good is it to have tons of positive camber adjustment if your arms are going to hit the fender walls.

Sean, since you didn't install the spacers are you having any issues with the arms hitting the fender walls? My thought is to take out the spacers hoping that I can get it back into spec although I can see any reason why the spacers would cause this problem.

Hindsight, I should have gotten the SPL's but I just want to move forward. It's really irritating to hit a bump and the sound just resonates throughout the car. I hope SPC has a fix for this otherwise, I will be one unhappy camper.

I will talk to Peter asap and let him know of my displeasure and also call SPC as well.
