major suspension issue?
I am finally posting on HT because i searched for the problem i had and it seems it couldn't be answered.
So here it is, i recently installed my skunk2 coilover kit on my 2000 gsr (still on stock shocks). i then drove it around for about 3 days and everything was fine. I then got my skunk2 front camber kit and installed those with no problem (or it seemed) and so i drove it on the freeway and i noticed that i had to turn the wheel at least 90 degrees, either way, before it actually turned (which i believe i just have to get it aligned and the camber adjusted). Then when i got off the freeway and was slowing down, the car would jerk up and down, in other words 'shake' very violently, and you could definitely tell it was from the front. But it seemed when i sped up, it would go away. Before i test things out, ie. raise it, i would like to know if anyone has experienced the same thing or knows about this because i don't want to drive it around with this problem. Thank You.

Sounds like your tires are hitting the front fenders when you hit the brakes. Also, Im not sure about 90 degrees on the steering wheel, but that sounds like you didnt install something quite right.
