Kill me.

My God what a friday the 13th/saturday the 14th! I went into work to use my bay so I could install my Tanabe gf210, tokico hp rear, oem front struts, spc front and rear camber kits. Pretty much multiple problems arose(seized bolts, multiple disturbances slowing me down etc........) So much so that I had to go back in today and finish. So after all is said and done, last night the car rolled fine. Now today after I tried to just get the camber and toe adjusted by eye temporarily, the car now bucks around and the slip lights stays on and the vdc stays off. I can hear the rear tires making an ungodly noise since they are probably way out of adjustment. Damn, I should have just waited until next weekend. I am not an idiot and have done multiple Honda/Acura full suspension swaps and never had this many problems!!!!

Sorry just had to vent.....

I wouldn't drive on it unless its going straight to get an alignment. Sounds like your toe is totally out of wack.

Good luck

From what i have read, the toe in the back is way off and that causes the slip light to come on.

Yeah the toe is what I tried to adjust today and once around the parking lot it was fine, get onto the road and bam!!! DANGER DANGER WILL ROBINSON!!! I gotta get to work tommorow so I am gonna try to move it back to where it was and its going back into my buddies shop this monday. I really don't care about the tires as long as they last one week since my A34s should be back from powder coating and will have new rubbers. I just don't want to damage the awd. On the upside, I know everything else is fine and I saved myself about 300-400 on labor and will save my buddy some duckets as well.

My rear toe was messed up after I did my suspension too. It was scary as hell to drive to the Nissan dealer to get aligned.

Thank god for the SPC rear toe bolts.

Just got car back today, yummy. I love the ride and look. Roomy did an awesome job and was really **** about settings. So much so that even though it was within specs, he is going to take the car back in and tweek it a little more. I like people who are picky like me working on my car.
