follow up on my vibration problem - solved!!!!
Well folks.....
I really scored! If anyone recalls, I bought a new RL about a month ago - had some significant probs with vibration at 75-85 mph.
Had the tires balanced - no help....
This was occuring when I bought the car and I had them guarantee that they would fix the prob.....
I just got Black chrome 18s with Michelin pilots A/S for $1700! They matched the ebay price and gave me $700 credit for my flatspotted OEM 17 tires. I will putr snot/ice tires on the 17s later this year.
The new 18s look great (see hothonda's pics) and there is nooooooo vibrations. It did make a difference in ride ... i notice a lot more road imperfections. This is definately a good upgrade.
next two steps....
1) WOOD-LIKE STEERING WHEEL
2) ASPEC SUSPENSION
