Default Vossen CV3 with vibration issue (updates)

Thank you for great answers and PM on the issue.

I had a Nexen N7000 and wasn't happy with it, called the CARID.com and found out they will refund me the tires so i did.

AFTER switched from Nexen to Continetal DWS Extremecontact tires. NO vibration issue.

Now I am going to lower my car, any suggestions? (kinda looks like tractor hahaha)

congrats! those are good tires too.

as far as lowering, it all depends on how low you want to go. imo when lowering i always go with coils because of the adjust-ability.

I have Continetal DWS Extremecontact tires also.
If you lower that AWD....be prepared for wobbles to go along with vibrations.

Is it AWD wobbles and vibrates when you lowered them?

yes, I believe due to axle position on the AWD models.... the angle that the axle sits at doesn't like it when u drive

Do these wobbles apply for spring as well? Or only coil overs?

springs, coils or air....doesn't matter. Its the angle of the axles when the car is lowered.
