The rca kit I got was the best investment I made, gave my car an agressive stance even on stock rims.

It's thought the AWD's vibrate because when the car is lowered the front axles become too short or stretched. One CL member had custom spacers made to go in between the axle and the knuckle to lengthen the axle. In the end we think it helped but the spacers spun around and destroyed some sensors.

Do a search on these on CL. There are pictures and write ups that can explain it a little better than me.
WOW thanks for explaining! I will be looking into this when i do my suspension setup!
