After Lowering Question
Hello CL, So I installed H&R springs on my AWD yesterday and have very minute vibrating at stop when foot on brake and when accelerating from 30-80mph. I know a lot of people got the vibrating issue but my question is I know I need to get an alignment done but do I also need a wheel balance?
Thank You

what do u mean by reputable alignment shop? I have the same problem after i lowered my car i have vibration when stopped only when the car is cold but during acceration on low speeds i also have vibration not matter if the car is old or warmed up. I have takin my car to 3 proformance shops to get alignments and i have also done wheel balancing. I have my car with BC coilovers, its drivin me crazy cause i feel like i am damaging something. I have had it for about 10,000miles lowered and now my CV joints are leaking both passanger and driver side i have to get that check out i have 47,000 miles on the car. I must say if i could go back i would have gone with the RWD... Help please!
i'm suffering just like Christian0 with my 06 GS AWD. I prefer driving my beater 99 Accord V6 than my lexus because it drives smoother, especially when I'm going to be in stop and go traffic. AWD

Yeah you are right I do have an AWD. My car is lowered on BC coilovers. The vibrations at idle is not really a big deal to me cause it only does it when its cold out side and the car is not warmed up all the way but onces it is it goes away. But the wobbling during initial acceleration is kinda weird I am not sure what could be casing that to happen I checked it over everything seems right. Wheel balancing and i have done alignment I took it to three places to get done but maybe they just doing a bad job I guess?
