you will be able to tell as soon as you drop the car, put it in drive while your foot is on the brake...it will just vibrate. you will also notice some wobbling during acceleration. drives me nuts. Anyone know how much a cv boot kit runs for? Figure thats much cheaper than replacing the whole axle if you catch the axle leaking early enough.

yes, that means you went too low. try raising it up a bit. Ive been adjusting mine to find a happy medium. Currently dropped 25 all around but still notice a litlle vibration. I can live with the vibration, im just worried about tearing my cv boots. Im going to try lifting the fronts a little bit more.

Of course you can increase the height, thats the beauty of getting coilovers. post a pic of your current height. do you have measuring tape? you will be able to measure your height from fener to ground to see exactly where you are at. . Anyone else running 24.5 or even 25 even? do you guys still notice slight vibration? hopefully some others can chime in.

Looks about how my car sits now. Probably sits a tad bit lower than mine. Keep in mind it takes a few days for the coilovers to settle after install so the vibration for u may be worse now as opposed to when u first dropped it. Try raising it half and inch then just work your way down from there

well in case anyone is wondering (i know its a 3GS but ive been on this for a while lol). This was the height i was at when i was getting my wobbles and vibrations (dont have an exact height)
after i had my spacers milled it drastically decrease the wobbles and vibrations by about 90%. here is a pic from right after i had the spacers done and my car lowered more and aligned.
