well, what tha problem most likely is, is u need new rotors or jus need tha old ones resurfaced. just do a brake inspections and look into the rotors because im almost positive thats the problem.

check your wheels, tires, and brake pads, and rotors.

Check to make sure your tires are properly inflated, also make sure to properly torque the lug nuts. If that doesn't work, maybe check into getting your rotors resurfaced.

Even with changing only springs, you should still get an allignment. Different spring rates and heights can cause you to go out of spec.

What all these guys said. Mine did the same thing, turning out I had warped rotors. Just take your car to your local shop and they'll fix it for you.

Could be rotors, alignment, I woudn't think your springs would cause this.

if you also just lowered or changed the suspension, get an alignment. mine did that on all my cars until i got an alignment.

Could be any of these problems: warped rotors, wheel balancing required, rack & pinion worn out, alignment needed.

I had that exact problem before, all it took was a balancing and an alignment and the problem was gone.

Haha....could you be any LESS specific?

First things first, get an alignment/wheel balancing. A vibrating steering wheel under braking usually indicates warped rotors, but if you just put the springs in, I would first suspect something related to that.
