Default Seattle Area volunteer needed for comparison

Hi all. Just wondering if anyone with a lowered 3GS AWD is interested in meeting up and comparing the vibrations/wobbles of our cars. I have an 07 350 AWD on Tanabe DF210s and when i went to the dealership today for service...they politely said that my car drives like $h*t. Is it really that bad?

Thanks!

Yeah we're twins, got the same wheels also. I'm not sure what wobble means but mine drives just fine just a little bumpy. I do have vibrations too but I think its worth it. Maybe when i m free you can give it a ride. Oh yeah I found that if you pack your car with five people total there's no more vibration. lol

I'm lowered with BC coilovers too. The vibrations are too bad, it has gotten better over time. Go figure... Try raising your car up an inch or so. Judging from the pic, my car is about an inch higher than yours.

Oops, I meant to say aren't too bad, not are too bad in the previous post.

Yeah, mine aren't staggered though; they're 18 "Lexus tourmalines. I may raise mine up a little more when I get my aerokit installed in the future. My car is still a work in progress.
