I don't use winter tire's at all, i have michellin pilot sport A/S plus which is an awesome tire but the AWD system lacks compared to acura,infiniti,and audi. Where they transfer power not only front to back or back to front but right to left and left to right. Overall rating for the AWD is K nothing special.

i just wish i would of grabbed a rwd.. so much less of a headache. we deff gotta get a meeting together. everyone who is awd and dropped. lets compare. when i pull my car out the garage the vibration is very very very mild. but as i start driving and you start feeling it more and more and i am only dropped 2" on eibachs. i also dont get it because the car sits alittle higher on 22s and i still feel the same vibes. and the take off wobble is another *****. a shake that starts from 5 up to 20 and smoooth. if you stay at 15 and keep it on 15 you will constantly feel the wobble untill u pass 20. freakin weird man. is that the awd kicking in ?

Hey Adam do you think switching fro the Eibachs to the AWD Road Magnet springs will help. They are actually made for the AWD model so I am assuming the vibrations would be gone or at least decreased. That would be a little easier that getting rid of the car

i wish that were the case but theres really no such thing as an "awd spring". the springs are the same. the vibration has nothing to do with what type of suspension your running. its more to do with the drivetrain and axles.

adam check out the neloc forum. i believe there is talks about a nyc meet on memorial day at 53rd and 6th.

tam i heard the road magnets are ****. i love the eibachs but yeah its also true it has nothing to do with the springs. i wish i was able to make the car awd. i would rather spend a few grand on doing that than changing the whole freaking car
