Take caution on the front ABS wires. Make sure you got enough slack when you fully turn the wheels left and right or else you will break it.

i got everything in, now the steering wheel is just shaking really badly when i drive anywhere over 60 :/

cant figure out the problem!

suspension originally felt the same but now its a little bumpy and i can feel every little thing on the road but thats with any car that is lowered.

^ is that the problem? i was thinking it was the alignment but should it really affect it that bad?

its shaking beyond control sometimes.

and i would align it but i wanna leave it for at least a few days for it to settle and adjust the height but I dont have the TEIN wrench to adjust it ):

trying to look for some1 locally that has it or i might as well buy it.

Have u checked Your wheel balance, maybe they werent balanced too well before, but your car wasnt lowered so the problem wasnt as noticeable, or are of your bushings in tact?

align it ASAP. Chances are your camber is wayyyy out of spec now that the car's dropped, exponentially worse the lower you go. Alignment won't effect the springs settling.

should, or at least close enough.

Also, that could be a sign of your ball joints on their way out due to the increased stress from being lowered.

our suspensions can be aligned correctly on a moderately dropped setup... dont think a slammed setup would go back to green. Itll help it nonetheless tho.

Depending on how "dumped" you are.. look into investing in Rear Toe arms and front RCA (maybe rear RCA too if u want)
