    New Springs Installed + Problem

    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

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

    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
