Make sure the wheels are properly balanced to the nearest 1/8 oz instead of 1/4 oz.

You will also want to check your lower control arm bushings.

Makes me want to order the bushings kit that much more for my car. Do not have the vibrations, but that car pulls all over under hard launches. Would like as much control as possible.

yea if ur rotors are junk that would do it.. when u do the rotors just do the pads too even if there good its a must on all cars cuz the other wies it mit skeeek or it will take a while for the pads to get the game groves then the new rotors
