lowered with comptech

I got my car lowered with comptech springs and sways last thursday.

I started to notice that the steering wheels vibrate slightly when going 60mph and up.
The car was aligned when it was lowered.

Just wondering if the alignment is off? Or you do feel slight vibration on the wheel after the car is lowered.

By the way, the ride is not that stiff and it corners nicely.

Give it a couple of weeks to let the springs settle and then get an alignment. That should help the vibration.

Phil, thanks for your comment.
Did you have the same problem?

I might have new set of rims by then so I guess I'll get it done with the rims...

Check your wheels for signs of missing weights. Its posible when they put your rims down after taking them off the car that they knocked a weight off of one of your front wheels and you may need to get them rebalanced.

Mr Hyde is right check your wheels for the weights, and in a worst case all you got to do is get the alignment
