I just installed a set of Eibach Sportline springs on my 03 Covic Si.
I now have a wobble/vibration that starts at 30mph. Yes, I have torqued and rechecked all of the wheels. When I did the spring install I jacked up the whole left side and did the front and rear and jacked up the whole right side and did the front and rear. I have not installed a rear camber kit yet. Does anyone know what could cause the wobble/vibration? I feel it in the floor and not in the steering wheel of the car.

Thanks, Grumpy

mrfixit687 Are you sure that an alignment will fix the problem?

alignment is key. you should always have one done after you remove/replace suspension components. It will most likely fix your vibration problem.

You make SURE you get a before and after print out when you DO get an alignment. Right now, you should not drive your car because your poor tires.................boy your tires are hurtin!

BTW, I am on Sportlines :cool:

Congrats on your install. Yep sounds like an alignment issue. I got to get one done also. Installed my Progress springs last weekend and it's thrown my alignment off but only becomes apparent at speeds over 60.

Thanks everybody! I plan on getting a rear camber kit installed with an alignment hopefully this weekend. The front looks good so I don't think I will need a camber kit for it.

Thanks, Grumpy
