Welcome to the vibrating AWD club. My assumption is that the combination of your springs settling and colder temperatures have increased the vibrations during idle. The only fix is to go back to stock. If all you have are vibrations at idle and not the wobbling during take off, then consider yourself lucky.... i have to endure both.

Consider this:

With NF210 your car looks better and rides much better. It also vibrates more when idling in gear. 99.99% of the time the car is in motion without any vibration, right? You do the rest of the math.

It can't be as bad as my friend's old Sunfire (ha), that literally shaked like a paint mixer at a stop light. He claimed it was supposed to do that because he put in stiff engine mounts... I was always confused why a body would do such a thing on purpose to a Sunfire or any other car if it resulted in your fillings vibrating out of your teeth.

ive got a GS300 AWD that just had the same springs installed and ive got the same issue. I was just coming on here to post that. How weird! I have a slight vibration while standing still and only sometimes feel the wobbling on take off. I dont think its terrible still wish it didnt happen at all though. I still have the stock 17's on will it get worse with the 19's i plan on putting on?

^ it won't get worse by putting bigger wheels on, not to me at least..

why didn't you get the road magnet springs for the AWD models???? You had to have know after spending a little time on this forum that the vibration is not uncommon when you drop an AWD . AWD is a pain in the ***. No staggered wheels and you have limited drop options

when i dropped my car on tein springs i had the same idle vibration i took it to the dealership and its just the way its gonna be with the lowering springs. what he did was lift the car a few inches and the vibration went away on idle when when he dropped the car back down it came back. in the summer its not that bad on my car but in the winter it gets worse.

This is exactly my beef with Tanabe....how many of us here have the nf's installed on our AWD's?? quite a few. I feel their just riding the wave being lazy and not addressing the issues we all are having with the nf's. Nothing worse than having a nice ride with lame/vibrating springs. Hope karma doesn't bite them before another vendor comes out with springs that work/won't cause vibrations for awd's. I'll go that route in a heartbeat.

^ this has nothing to do with springs. more likely the design of front stock suspension due to AWD drivetrain.. several members incluing myself have vibration issue with other types of brand, BC Racing coilovers, Tein S-tech, Roadmagnet (eventhough it was designed and tested on AWD platform), etc. lower you go, more prone to vibration, but this is like a hit or miss. search and you will find numerous threads.

there is nothing wrong with the springs. us awd people have issues because of the cv axles and the odd angle they are put at when you lower the car. thats whats causing your vibrations. i had to raise my coils all the way up to get rid of my vibrations.
