Default SIDEeffects include:

Forged pair of wheels wont fit without spacers. 4mm spacers installed and now they are sticking out too much. Result is a slight rubbing. Though rubber is just 235-35-19
Windows one touch auto DOWN function is DOWN. Remote key is no longer remote. Clock reseted. ESP turns on when the you start the car in the morning and goes away in a minute. Also the Brembo kit got no pad sensors - so add another dash light. Was easy to fix using just TWO staples! Plus fuel meter died and says ZERO all the time.
Thanx ECS the kit also included Tylenol. Just in case. B.I.D.

Default your problems...

are not related to

Also the Brembo kit got no pad sensors - so add another dash light. Was easy to fix using just TWO staples!

And if you cut the old plug off the factory pads and use that has a jumper by twisting the connection together, it will work better than staples...

Default I'm reading this as sarcasm... I hope that's the case..

but your post came off like all of those issues were related...

If that was not your intention, you might need to proof read next time before clicking.
