as any of u had this concern after lowered the car?
lets say that u change the angle of the axels?
i had check ball jonts/wheel bearings/tires/rims/ all of the mare tight and balanced, yet still dont find this problem that been with me like 6-7 months ago. it just that now got worst like before it would only start 60- and the after hit 75 was gone, now after 60 keep doing it all the way up.
i had change a lot of parts and the problem still wont solve.
the vibrations come from the steering wheel. also i been seen that sometimes when i take a curve at 70+ then go straight the vibrations stop for a little bit...

sway bar links/wheel bearings/outter tire rods i change wheels/tires once cause my teacher form ATC said they were bent......

any thoughts?

Even if you get your wheels balanced, most companies don't have balancers that rotate fast enough to adjust for high speeds. Your wheels might seem fine at low speeds but even "balanced" tires will vibrate at 70mph.
Ask the shop what the machine can do when you get them balanced.

check your rims! i managed to dent mine on a pesky pothole and i have very similar issues since then, and i've got a stock suspension. when i get to 55-70mph it'll shake the steering wheel like a quivering crack addict. wouldn't hurt to give your lugs a check too. could and alignment help this issue-... i think i need one, tires are wearing more to the inside.

what is your wheel offset? ours should be 43. mine are 42. good between 42-45. alex is right too i've heard about that problem.

after you lowered your car? how much? your cambers probably need adjustment. what happens is suspension is already at an angle. when you lower your car without adjusting camber and toe out of stock settings, your wheels will not stand on the ground flat, they will be croooked. this will lead to quick tire wear and definitely some steering issues as well as a dangerous drive!

check your balancing job, that would be the first thing i'd get checked. next would be struts/suspension/alignment next would be rotors and front brakes.

always have alignment/adjustment done after spring install.
