Never heard of it happening, and based on where the wheel speed sensors are in relation to the strut, it seems unlikely in most conditions. I could be wrong, and would like to hear exactly what happened if someone did have issues.

The only way I can describe is this: My cousin and I installed all 4 Eibach Pro-Kit Springs at the dealership we used to work at, and afterwards, the light came on. That was forever ago, being the first mod I did and all when I bought the car last year July-August-ish. About 4 months ago I took my Celica to Toyota and they said all 4 ABS sensors were broken, that's why the light was on. Hope this helps! Thanks for you time.

either you did somthing to the wireing during the install, or the sensors, or toyota is mis-diagnosing the problem.
in no way should the springs affect the ABS system. -------------------- Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)

There is no way those springs would damage the sensors.
Period. Other than if the springs fell off and hit the sensor on the way down.  Did you remove the sensor from the knuckle when you installed the springs? If so, you probably damaged them. It is next to impossible to remove them without damaging once they are more than a few years old. It's better to disconnect the wire connector. Or did/is the wire cut/damaged? --------------------  |
