Help Please!!!!!
Well I got my SPC camber kit and started the install today little after noon. I started with the spacers, the hub spacers went on fine. The day went down hill after that. The spacers that goes on the caliper does not work with my wilwood kit. I had to cut the spacer in half to make it fit. Then I started with the A arm. I got that on but I could not get the bushing off the OEM A arm. So i had to reinstall the OEM one. After all this I get in my car to start backing up and my wheel starts to turn to the right. Do you think it might be that i only install one side of the spacers? I just ran out of time. Then the slip/ABS/VDC light all light up. What do I need to do?
Are the spacer needed for the front?
how to get the abs slip vdc off?

Your lights came on due to the spacers you installed. When you install the spacers you realign the sensor on the wheel hub. I'm pretty sure it's the speed sensor, it just needs to be readjusted over the ring on the hub that's all. This is very common when people put on spacers. I avoided the spacers so I wouldn't have to deal with it but it can be fixed. You will most likely have to take your oem a arm to a shop and have it removed, I had to take mine to the shop and they had to have it "pressed off" but you can just drive to the dealership and get a set for like 20 bucks i think, which is what I would reccomend. Not to sure about it steering to the side though.
And by the way the spacers AREN'T NEEDED for the front. The point of them is to give you a wider range of camber adjustment for when you align your car. Many people on here installed the SPC kit without the spacers and have no problems, I did.

Unless you're dropped more than 2" you shouldnt need the spacer in the front to get back to OEM specs.
The first time i did and SPC A-Arm install i didnt know i had to remove the oem bushing so i wasnt prepared for it. You gotta improvise. I stuck the a-arm in a vice and put the open end of a 1" wrench between the bushing and the metal of the arm and pushed and pulled until it came off, it takes some muscling with it, but it'll come off. Soak it with WD-40 before you try and get it off as well. Or you can go to autozone and rent a puller.
