have a small suspension problem, need advice
i recently put on steeda struts, shocks, springs, strut bar, and heavy duty upper strut mount/camber plates.
the driveway ramp entering and exiting my condo has a small speed bump. now whenever i go down the ramp and the rear tires go over the speed bump, my anti lock brakes kick on... that chattering feeling. i am going pretty slow too. other than this strange thing, my car drives and handles great.
it never happened before putting the suspension on. does anyone know what causes this? would putting on lca's help to eliminate this? i am just concerned that if i were driving on the road and hit a bump, my car would lose control or something.
sorry so long, thanks for any information you can provide.

Anytime you do springs and shocks/struts that are stiffer than stock there is a likelihood that when you hit a bump the wheels might "float" off of the bump if rebound is damped too much. If this happens while you're braking the ABS might recognize this as wheel slip. Once the wheels rebound fully it'll become a non issue. I wouldn't worry about it.

robk, thanks. i guess since my shocks/struts are non-adjustable there is nothing i can do huh?
