My bro's GS just got a new shoes, Veilside 19x9 f and 19x10 rear... after having them installed, the car ran OK... but under heavy rain, harsh vibration occurs at 70 mph and above... on dry condition, the vibration is much less but still noticeable... tires are Dunlop SP Sport 9000, wheels have been balanced once and he used hub centric rings... we still have not figured out what's causing this.
Tires have around 150 miles on them , still brand new... car is lowered with espelir springs and L-tuned shocks, not yet aligned, but I HIGHLY DOUBT that suspension has anything to do with these...

Hi Eric,
wheel alignment os suspension ? For suspension, we're gonna let it settle first for 1 - 2 weeks before alignment. We have done wheel alignment, but might ask the tire shop to redo that due to vibration...
but as I said, I highly doubt this is due to the lowering job...

There was a TSB on this....which essentially said to reset the ECU.

Me thinks
Me thinks flat spotting is what your experiencing. It happened to me on my S03's more when they were newer and especially when it was a cold night the night before.
