    does it vibrate only during acceleration or idling at certain highway speeds ?

    when i'm on the gas can't even tell, but the second i get off the throttle it starts to make the noise, this is when its the worse. I can see vibrations in the steering wheel but can distinguish if the movement is the problem or the road. When i lightly break its there as well, not worse or better, but different. I think my roaters are warrped on top of it. When i break normal or hard,,,no noise. I can take hard ass turns no problem..no play in the wheel. I'm going to get an alignment just on the front end today to see if thats the problem.

    I do'nt wana have to put my ebachs back on and raise it..i like these b+g springs. I thought the car can be dropped like 2.5-3.0 inches with no real problesm except shocks and camber. Ya it'll put a little more pressure on the tranny and joints...but shouldn't be that much to make that noise.

    have you shook around your tie rods , pryed on your control arms , or pry checked your balljoints all while the wheels are off the ground? ball joints are commen to be a hassle on lowered vehicles.

    also pull your wheel off and examine your brake system :calipers and rotors.
    if your rotors are warped the steerind wheel will shake left to right kinda when brake pressur is applied and more violent at heavy breaking . while you have your wheel off , look at your cv axle boots as well . if a boot it loose , there will be axle grease slung , very noticably .
