Ive started to have vibrations with my eibach sportlines. Thought it was my tires and rims. Got them all checked. They are all good. Checked my brakes and rotors. they are good too. Maybe not my rotors since my car shakes some when i break. But when I drive my shakes at higher speeds.

Going to get someone to check out my suspension soon

there are too many things that get in the way of successfully lifting the engine; it would cost too much.

Dropped spindles is the better way to go, but that is serious money; its easy enough to buy a chunk of alloy -400 .00 or so and machine it. But then you have to shorten the strut. If you are on coil overs it could be better, but as the coil overs all use a universal strut cartridge that is very long, you would be into more money..

bottom line , cliffs notes:.

Folk cant afford it too/much money/live it/always use OEM NOT aftermarket axles/OR lift the car back up./OR check with Randy he has figured out how to live with it and rides very low.

Just installed my Ksports on my base auto HHR over the weekend and went full low...drove it 5 mins and car hated it so I brought it up to where I'm pretty much flush (no finger gap). I got it aligned yesterday and have just a very little vibration that I'm guessing is axle bind. I'm due for tires too plus I'm running a hard compound tire (BFG Sport Comp 2s) and I'm thinking I had a little vibration before but just never felt it because I wasn't running on stiff struts. Either way...new tires going on later in the week and if this is axle bind it's something I can definitely live with as long as it doesn't get worse.
