Please read around some more I don't want you getting an alignment right away before your suspension/springs have dropped to their normal height only to find out you have to get an alignment done again after. I don' think there's anything in your suspension geometry that would change enough from a simple drop to cause vibrations as bad as you described them.
Thanks.....well when it was on stock springs it dinit vibrate at all right after i installed the GC kit and droped to the max of it witch i believe its 2 inch or so it started....anything comes in mind what it might be?


Thanks...................

I'm pretty certain it's the cv joint issue I described earlier. You can go get it aligned right away if you'd like or even wait, but I'd probably be willing to put money on the problem still being there after you align. 2" is a significant drop on the S2000.

I believe there are 3 solutions,
a.) Replace the entire CV Housing with new ones.
b.) Swap the left inner housing for the right inner housing. This solves forward vibration but not backwards vibration.
c.) Axle Spacers, they're sold by a few companies and fairly cheap to come by, depending on the width, it MAY place the splines back into the right position and drive like it used to.
Witch would you think it would be best to do out of all three of them?

swap the cv's left and right to see if it resolves the problem. do you have stock wheels?

you need an alignment anyway, just need to wait a week or two after install.

You put the wheels on correctly after? Some people have mistakenly put the front on the rears and vice versa. Just wanna rule that one out.
