hey everyone. i just put in type r springs on my gs-r. the problem is my ABS light is on and wont go out. anyone else have this problem or know of someone who has? What the hell is wrong? the car is brand new. any info would be greatly appreciated.

 

try resetting ECU

 

hey thanks for the reply....stupid question how do u reset the ecu? isit just disconnecting neg. battery terminal or something else?

 

disconnecting the negative battery terminal for about 30 seconds will work.

 

there is an ABS line right under the shock in the rear, its possible they or one was damaged durign the spring install... they are electrical wire lines, and covered with a metal sheath.. look to see if there are any cuts/bends in them.

good luck.

 

yeah i figured that could be the problem. those bastards that installed them screwed one of those lines up i know it. anyhoo if i take it to my acura dealer do u think they will fix it under warranty or are they gonna bullshit me because i swapped the springs out? after all they are oem replacements...technically

 

oh they will bullshit you for sure, maybe if there is a nice ghuy working you'll be lucky, whoo knows... but I bet theyll try to get out of it.

I funked up my rear pass sensor by leavign the line unattached to the LCA.. DORK. and now I gotta get a new sensor and line... $110 thru A&H I think.. price good, having to repair it sux.

 

with the exception of my abs light, its a direct swap you dont have to change anything. if you want to use the ITR shocks than you need to change the rear lower control arms as well as get a longer ABS wire or some **** like that. the springs really are great. it lowers it exactly like the r's. the nice thing is the car is even front and back. most times when you get springs te back is normally lower than the front

 

the LCA is an easy swap if the bolts come out...
the ABS line is usable too, but only one bolt hole lines up.. the other end can be zip tied or you can make a inch long plate/bracket to hold it down. piece of cake really.
the cost of new ABS l;ines is only worth it if you have a showcar or need to avoid dealer warranty issues.
