How do you NOT know by now to list all relevant car details? hat would include any and all modifications to the suspension and braking systems.

Are you TRYING to be hardheaded? The forum rules pretty much demand you list the car and the details. Knowing you I hardly doubt it's "basically stock". It just started shaking out of nowhere?

I got it! Maybe you're coming down with Parkinson's.

You haven't even begun to give enough information to help you.

motor mounts, wheel hub, bushings... Does it happen when you turn corners around 20-30 mph? Is it only the front end shaking?

If it's the car I think it is he actually has a decent set of coilovers on it. He buys quality. Just doesn't seem to have a clue on proper operation and installation.

Maybe it could be your rotors/brakes..you said it shakes when coming to a complete stop? Id have someone check the front end out just to be safe
