    Got a Problem with the new suspension

    I install the progress sport spring on my '99 Galant it drop about 3.5 on front and since I put on it when I hit the gas the front of the car vibrate very hard, I think I'm the only one who have that problem. Can anyone please tell what is wrong with my car? :?:

    I think you're having the same problem as we did when we dropped our cars on the OEM struts. Does the whole car vibrate or do you that that front wheel wobbling feeling?

    ROFL......

    Damn I only got a 1.8 drop in the fron myself.

    I don't really think this has anything to do with the stock struts being used. I have the stock struts and have gotten no problems like this. Now what could be happening is if you have aftermarket wheels you might now have a problem with the Galant being hubcentric and not having the rings on and it being closer to the ground that might be a problem, you might just need an alighnment now since you lowered the car, or you didn't retourqe your lugs after driving it for 20 miles.

    I would first check your lugs and then get an alighment done. If that still doesn't cure the problem get the rings.

    when i dropped my car 4" in the front and 3" in the back, my front axles were being severly bent up from teh tranny, the interior CV boots looked retarded, they were so bent up due to the extended drop and me fucking with the geometry. i didn't get any vibrations or anything like that though, just really out of alignment wheels.
