GS430 Tein CS, and New bushings
I just started driving my gs430 a few days ago, and i had installed TEIN CS II (if i remeber correct) late summer and didn't get to drive much with them on, and i just replaced the front upper and lower control arm bushings w/ Dazen busings, and also replaced the steering rack busings, the car feels so much different, its much more solid and handles a lot better, before i replaced everything, i had been to a few shops to try and all have checked the car and said that bushings were fine; however, once the bushings actually came off the car and were replaced, visually you can see how worn out the old ones were, and driving it was a huge difference. now the problem i ran into, after replacing everying, the VSC, TRAC, ABS lights all came one as i started the car up in the shop, i took it back there today so they can try and figure out whats going on, because they hooked it up to the computer and scanned for codes but nothing came back. did they possibly damage my sensors?

the suspension has been on the car for about 7 months, no problems at all. the lights all came one once they started the car up in the shop, after they installed the bushings.

i got a call from the shop, and they managed to cut the wire to the sensors while installing the bushings, the wire was cut close to the harness and can't be repaired, so they are in the process of locating new sensors, this should hopefully take care of the problem.

I ran into the same problem with the shop that installing the coilovers not paying enough attention to the speed sensors. When you get the car back pay particular attention to fabricating a better path for the sensor, odds are it stretched to the max!!
Oh, by the way, I bet your senor is still good, it probably just popped out.
