Hey what's up? I just had lowering springs installed on my ride, as well as a front upper, and rear upper strut bar. Problem is, now my car has a terrible shake, and I don't know what it could be. I have to bring it back to the shop tomorrow morning. He said he would play around with it, but if I could get some insight I would like to get it fixed ASAP. Could it be that the alignment changed, or the strut bars are too tight??? I have 17" rims on it, and it has been good until now. This shop is well known for doing good work, but truthfully he looked somewhat lost. If anyone out there knows what to do about this please let me know. Thanks!

your car probably needs alignment :shrug

Is it common to need an alignment "after" installing drop springs??? Before the install, it ran perfect. Now it has really bad vibration going on. Ever had any experiences like this???

This guy has the same problem as you!!!

Yes. Camber, Caster, and Toe are almost ALWAYS affected by altering your suspension geometry. Does not matter what vehicle you are talking about.

always are.

when I dropped 3" my rear camber went to -3.7*. factory is -1.5* in the rear a 0* in the front. The camber is really bad and theres that shimmy feeling because the only contact patch your tire is getting is on the inside edge.

edit: $15 camber mod IMO. Fixed mine -2*...yay!! within spec!
