lowered... now vibes.. Wth?
So i just finished putting my H&R sport kit on my ss/sc and now when i drive and accelerate, i feel a lot of vibration in the front... but its only when i accelerate.. If im just cruising i cant feel it at all. I got it aligned to almost perfect.
Would it be because i have my 16'' snow tires on? Could they be un-balanced?
Im freaking out so any input would be amazing!
AND BTW
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

There is a difference between a car riding rough and vibrations in the wheel/pedals. Which are you having? It's pretty normal for a car that is dropped 4inches + to have a really rough ride. However, you shouldn't be having any vibrations. Does the car pull at all to the left or right while coasting? If so, it's possible that it could be your alignment. Other then that, I really don't know, but I hope it all works out for you.

I have the same drop kit i love it but its just a little rough riding. well compared to a truck or something like that, but it should be your alignment or you majorly F***** up on your install.

FAIL. he said he did lol
I jusst put sportlines on yesterday and i know the vibrations your talking about...it is becuase you firmed up the car...just like when you put new mounts on the engine and tranny your stiffening ur ride characteristics so you will feel more of what the car is doing including engine vibrations...no worries though all is well for you =)

im sure its not engine vibrations... it feels like the tires vibrating when i accelerate... i got the alignment, and yes i put the springs on right. This is the third car ive done my own suspension on. im not some new kid on the block here. this is however my first set of snow tires( blizzacks ), so i was just wondering if thats what it could be... its a very weird vibration.
