Default OH SHAT!!!!

Ok, so a few months ago, i swapped out neuspeed race springs on my stock shocks. Needles to say they blew shortly after. So i have been riding on blown shocks for abot the last 4 months. Until i FINALLY got some illuminas a week ago. It rides like a dream now. Only one problem, my car is kinda shaking at higher speeds and somthing is slapping my FR wheel well. I am thinking that i may need to get it religned, but id thought id ask before i start spending extra money.

My car feels like it's slapping something around and it's my inner tie rod ends. With age + big drop, they just go after a while. My car felt great at stock height but after a 3" drop, bye bye softness You gotta pay to play.

Thats the setup I'm running, how much of a drop did you end up with? I got like 3.5"


Go get it aligned, I dont get ny slapping and it handles great.
