IS250 AWD - After lowering springs
I did some research but didn't find much info.
After I installed my road magnet lowering springs, I noticed at very low speed 0-20 mph the car shake's a little after 20 mph it goes away. is this normal??
what can I do to fix this?
I installed the springs myself and have done other cars before so I know I installed them correctly.... hopefully.
here is a quick pic after the drop. I really like the drop.

drop is 2" - Road magnet is a pretty good company.

I do experiencing vibrations at times at the light when the brake paddel is press. I am concerned with the slightly shaking at low speed. any inputs?

I think its because of the AWD system...
i thought that because the AWD system that it cannot be lowered too much
i think 1.4 or 1.5 might be max?
and i think this happens like 50/50.....idk

drop looks very nice.
I was search around for springs to drop my AWD as well. But after the research 95% of user recommend to use coils instead of springs for AWD, so saving bucks for the coils now ><
PS: Just notify you're in Michigan too. What city are you in? I am in A2

no aligment yet- waiting for my rims. the road magnet springs are made for the awd model. ride is great.
So am I safe to assume the slight shake will be fine...

No, if the car is shaking, it's not fine - something is wrong. Is the shaking coming from the wheels? driveline? engine? Is it engine speed or road speed related? Lowering the suspension changes some drivetrain component angles (moreso on the AWD).
I wouldn't dismiss this as something to be ignored. Get some input from other AWD owners who have lowered their cars.

there is a slight shake, not sure where it's coming from but it's not the engine. this only happens on occasions at very low speed - after 20mph it goes away. happens at take off.
AWD owners please assist.
