What are your suspension and wheel/tire spec's? Also, what mfg of tires are you using? I don't know if it's the tires, but I've had all 4 wheels/tires re-balanced and road force tested about 3 times as well as re-alignments and I still get a slight vibration around the 68-80mph range. How is your ride?

Hey guys i am using my brothers screen name to reply. I am using tanabe df210 springs, and the wheel and tire set up is 20X8.5 w/ 38 and 245-35-20 nitto's, and 20x10 w/ 40 and 285-30-20. i also get a vibration around 70-80mph, but is also get one when i am at a dead stop and then accel to about 35 mph. i was thinking it maybe the awd because of the weight difference between the front and rear wheels. Because the tire height is on .02 inches off. And thanks for all the compliments everybody, i'll have my brother put more pic's up when the vehicle is finished.
RUBBING: I get quite a bit of rubbing when I have the steering wheel turned to the left while in drive/reverse at low speeds (backing out of the driveway or in the parking lot). Also, I get rubbing on the rear tires on humps when there is more weight in the back seat. Being that you are using the DF210's how is your rubbing factor? I am assuming it's worse than mine. If your rubbing issues are less than or equal to my current issues I should've went with the DF210's for looks. How's the ride with the DF210's in the AWD? FYI, in my opinion the NF210's are an okay ride, not as smooth as I thought it would be.

Hi guys I've been away for a while.Busy working without much time to play on the comp(my summers are short).Back to the subject.My car also has a slight vibe when accelerating from a stop or very low speeds.I haven't noticed any vibe while crusing.My wheel and tire setup are all equal so I am assuming the AWD is the cause of this.

The car looks good with the SEVAS S7 wheels, is there any rubbing with that 285/30-20 tire?
Also the 4wd just may be the culprit for the vibes, because my uncle reported the same on his 2006 Audi A6 Quatrro after mounting 19s's

Thanks for the compliment, the sevas wheels look great for the money these are the third set I've ordered in the least 2 months. As for the rubbing, i don't really have any issues we trimmed the rear fender liner and heated the front fender shrouds. I had a minor noise when I had four (large) people in the car, but that was when i hit a big dip in the road.
