Problem with SPC camber kit
hey all,
So I installed my front and rear SPC camber kit recently, but I'm having trouble with the driver front brakes. When I apply them while driving it sounds and feels like the ABS is kicking in. Do you guys think I should add another one of the washers to space out the sensor? would that fix the problem?
Any insight would be helpful.

this is very tedious. I had the same issue with the SPC camber kit.
You have to install some washers or spacers for the ABS sensor. When done correctly, the lights will turn off trust me.
It took me forever to get it right. Just make sure the ABS sensor isnt rubbing on the magnetic strip on the bearing hub. If so, it will destroy the magnetic strip and the sensor will not operate correctly causing the ABS lights to turn on. I had this happen to me.
Too much spacing and the sensors dont sense the magnetic strip on the bearing hub.
It has to be just right.

Thanks for the reply Algy, how many washers (the ones that came with the kit) did you use on either side? I started with two on both sides and have been trying to figure it out independently on both sides...maybe that my problem.
Did you space both sides evenly is my main question i guess lol
Thanks again!

Idk, did you install the hub shim correctly & the L bracket piece that SPC supplies to support the sensor? When I install mine I turned the hub with only 2 washers for the ABS sensor & it sounded like some rubbing was happening so I just added one on each side for a total of 3. Not one problem with ABS, slip, VDC at all.

Mmk,
The way I understand ABS system to work is that if the sensor is too far away the system thinks the wheel isn't moving so the ABS pump kicks in every time you touch the brake pedal.
I just went and set both sides to one washer and so far it seems to have solved the problem. I'll go drive it a bit more in a short while and let you guys know what up!
