  • lowering springs and the shakes

    i was considering putting lowering springs on my 06 G6 GTP and have been reading a lot of posts saying they are experiencing a vibration during heavy acceleration and at highway speeds. i was wondering if this is common or were they installed wrong. i have read the problem gets better with an alignment but is still there. if this is just a problem that cant be fixed how bad is the vibration. i would really like to lower my car i think it looks bad ass dropped but i dont want to do it if im going to have a vibration. what should i do?

      he says that he did fix his. i am going to do the same as he did with the rubber inserts to raise it up about 1/4" in the front and back. i would imagine that the reason eibach's drop is only 1.5" is because that is as low as you can go on the 6 speeds without having the shakes. my drop is 1.75" so that fix will put me right at where the eibach's are in the front. im sure that the automatics of all trim levels are fine with the 1.75" springs because i have a feeling thats what everybody that came out with springs real quick used in r&d.

                Prove it!... j/k

                dizzle - Personally i think you should give it a try and see for yourself. I really think my GT did not vibrate all that much. I see the complaints about the gtps and vibration, but as far as i am aware, noone thought it was bad enough to take them back out. And like Hotg6gto, she found a way to help rid her car of the bad vibrations. I'd say try it, you can always add the rubber cushions like she did!
