Did they install the tiny washers behind the sensors? When I picked my car up from the shop they forgot to put those on and my dash was lit up. Drove straight back and they installed two of those washers. Fixed the problem.

At first, when everything was installed, I did have the ABS light come and the front of the car would shudder. It usually did it when I was on an incline and the front wheels where pushed higher into the fenders. Don't know what caused it but it hasn't happened in the last 3 months.

u might want to try the method stated above, check to see if the washers were installed. There might be too much air gap in between the hub and the sensor.
Also check your brake fluid level. This can also be the reason why the lights are on.
I would also suggest you ask your shop if they have one of those abs scanner to scan for the code.
As for the vibration, we need more detail on that to help you out. It could just be the abs self testing.

I'd take it somewhere else, that shop sounds entirely incompetent. Sorry to hear about your troubles.

Somebody even posted a picture of revised vs. unrevised and one arm had more of a bend in it than the other.
I'm aware of the revised (72125) and unrevised (72120). The revised ones were made to replace the unrevised because of the issues on coupes and sedans. Both the coupe (2003-2007) and sedans (2003-2006) use the same suspension parts. There is not one specific for coupes or sedans (not including the awd models).

Not true and I know this from personal experience. I ran both versions and had knocking issues with both. SPC told me I was lowered beyond the normal working conditions of the arms I gave up and went with 350evo arms instead

You're right, when I bought my first set of SPC fronts long ago it must have been a transitional period where the revised had just come out and certain vendors were selling unrevised versions or weren't sure what they had. At the time it was pretty important for the buyer to specify they wanted the revised versions.

I wasn't aware they had completely switched over to revised nowadays. But yes, all the platforms used the same suspension parts.

^Yeah, they did make the revised straighter but it never corrected the issue I had with the annoying knocking. I still don't think it's fixed with those G's that go beyond a 2" drop

So if I'm only planning to drop slightly below the height of Tein 350z H-Tech in the front, then I can probably get away with using the SPC fronts?

From what I experienced yes you shouldn't have a problem but I would ask others who are running that setup to confirm.

What's your drop?
I would not recommend removing the shims, you will have a lot of negative camber which will eat up tires.
