I just lowered my car with Tein Basic's and SPC camber kit front and rear and dont have any problems. The shop that I got it installed at did not install the spacers that came with the front camber kit as they advised it was not needed. Could this be the cause of all your problems?

I got my SPC kit from Thmotorsports as well

I spoke with 1 guy who had RAS and the Eibach drop
last summer/ he had lots of problems with lights going on
and then went to dealer and found out he needed some sort
of tune/calibration for the rear? then life was good again.

maybe check with your dealer guy about this.

G/L man

Maybe you should get a second opinion on the install at another shop to see if things were connected properly....just a thought.

FWIW, I have Tein S-techs right now, which provide ~1.2" drop in the front and had no issues after my SPC fronts were installed

thats beacuse u dont have RAS, and your car has a basic drop, he wanted his car down to wheels, thast abt a 2" drop and with the RAS system, its iffy

still...to have the check engline light and VDC on...something's not right...a second opinion would rule out the possibility of a faulty install.
