Hunted Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Hi All, This topic may have been brought up and I have researched but I never found a supplier of adjustable suspension components (like camber, toe, etc) to address my alignment issue. Here is the deal: I purchased 19" staggered MMR HR3's and a set of Tanabe springs with a drop of only 1.0"F & 0.8"R w/ only 5% increase in spring rate as I wanted as stock as possible with marginal drop, because I really don't care id it looks like it is sitting on the ground, I actually want to drive this car, but improve its handeling somewhat and keep the good ride. The guaranteed fitment advertized by the wheel reseller turned out to be BS because I did have to replace all the stock studs with longer ones and the cut them slightly to fit the wheels mounting depth, but all went accordingly. When I droped it off the the alignment shop, they told me they could only adjust the stock (camber and toe) to a figure that was probably good enough. Said he set up for stability but was still a compromise. But good enough is apparently not great because once and a while durring an on ramp full throttle romp, suddenly the front feels like it gets the shakes and really dosen' t go away with a tap on the brakes or swerving, nothing until I stop. The car has sometimes acted like it has a bad tire balance (a little bit) but I could almost live with this being that the tires and wheels are a lot heaver than stock set up. But this sudden front end (shopping cart) osolation I can not tolorate and is a bit scarry when I am into the the throttle. Any ideas? Do you think I need adjustable suspension components when all that I did was drop the car an inch? And if so, where would I buy adjustable suspension components for a 2002 LS430? Thanks, all ideas welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
