^ any differences now that your on coils? I would think since your not on the oem suspension that it would help since its not to soft?

the conclusion i have come to from reading all the threads and my own personal experience with my suspension is that it does not matter what type of suspension your on, be it springs or coils you'll get vibrations. to me it seems like the vibrations get worse the lower and lower you go which seems to keep making sense since all the awd guys who have springs that are around 1" (f sport or tein h tech) do not really have vibrations or if they do its very minor. when i had my car slammed when i first put the coils on (tucking stock tires) the vibration was just ridiculous. i had to raise the car up and it eliminated approx 85% of the vibrations.

i have very limited vibrations and im able to just live with it. its not that bad on my car. although i do plan on dropping it some more this weekend so i'll see how it goes.
nice. i just dont like how my driver side is a hair lower then my passenger side. no way to fix this unless i clip some coil from the passenger side to even it out. welcome to the ghetto lol
