Ok these problems might be unrelated but I'm not really sure.

First the suspension problems...I installed Buddy Club N+ spec damper coilovers about 2 months ago and haven't had any problems until about a week ago. About a week ago I noticed that when I started up from a stop I could hear what sounded like a rubbing sound coming from my back right wheel. I'm pretty low but not so low I should be rubbing on stock wheels while drive stright on flat ground. Once I get up above about 10 mph the sound goes away. At the same time my shock (again only from the back right) started to be really squeeky , mainly when getting to the bottom of an incline and taking a right (I know that sounds wierd but I do it when I'm leaving my apartment twice a day). I have no idea what this could be and would really appreciate some help. As a note, I am about .5-1 inches lower on the N+ spec then I was on the Tanabe's I had before these and I have not gotten an alignment yet. I haven't notice any uneven tire wear so I should be fine but just in case that matters...

On a most likely unrelated note, I'm getting a vibration at high speeds (above 70-75). I have stock wheels (well silver stars but obviously stock bore size) so I don't know what else to check when it comes to the vibration. Again, I would appreciate some assistance.

The only thing that makes me think they could be related is that the vibration seems to be coming from the back right as well but I can't really tell as well. Anyway, thanks in advance for the help!!

 

I hope you find out what the problem is - hopefully it is not a problem with the N+ Spec's - Installed mine a few weeks ago but everything is ok to this point

 

for the vibration I would check that all the lug nuts are completely tight.

 

I agree. If that doesn't yield any results, get someone to balance them for you.

 

 

Hmmm checked the lugs and centering of the rims a few times.... I'll check them again and if it doesnt help see if the new wheels and tires help For the price I paid it better

No advice on the squeeky shock? Would spraying stuff down there with WD-40 be a bad idea?

 

I have no idea about the other stuff, but I just had my front wheels balanced because of vibrating/shaking at high speeds, and everything's fine now.

 

well hurry up already if you have the new rims in your posession get pics posted on the site pronto. Else I am going to create a thread for you with a this thread is worthless without pics smiley.

 

Good luck on getting pics of the rims, he still hasn't even posted proper pics of the window trim!!!

Will post pics asap

Oh oh and of the window trim too... I really promise this time.

 

Oh and the Eagle F1's to wrap them are coming on monday

 

you are going to be required to put two of these on and take some pictures. however no using them in the winter.

 

you should be happy with those

 

if you still get the buzzing/vibrating noise, it might be the wheel bearings. I had my right passenger wheel bearing assembly replaced and that fixed the problem...

it might be worthwhile to have the dealer check it out. they replaced mine under warranty.

 

cool, hopefully it will go away after the alignment. I probably wouldn't be able to get a dealer to do that for me considering I've got quite a few mods into the car
