Car vibrates around 40-45mph after Spring Install
I just installed some espelir springs into my ap1 and when accelerating around 40-45 mph I start to feel a vibration around the rears. What can this be?
Installed the springs removing the single 17mm, and the 2 that hold up the wishbone. Also had a friend stand on the brake disc to move the arm around a little.
Any ideas?

if the alignment doesn't solve the problem, do a search on "CV joints." since you have a MY00, it could be CV housing/spider wear. i've seen tons of threads discussing driveshaft spacers, so you can do a search on that too.

I just put coilovers from springs and am getting a vibration immediately after install. It could be the alignment or it could be the inner CV joints. Do the alignment and if that fails get the CV's re packed and put the passenger side axle on the drivers side and vise versa. (Wear may be causing the problem and by switching axle sides it puts drive on the fresh side of the drive cups)
I've done tons of searching on this and hopefully one of them will solve the problem.

I had the same issue launched my car once and pop goes the axle! You need the spacers or I just upgraded to the AP2 axles that are suppose to be 10mm longer. That vibration will get worse if you dont address the issue and I highly recommend that you do drive hard until you do.
