new springs making tires vibrate
so i installed my new eibach springs on my pro 5 about a week ago, and today i hit a turn pretty fast (flat, not banked, and i was accelerating also if that makes a difference) and it seemed like all 4 wheels were vibrating (very strange) anyone have any ideas? i didn't have an alignment done or camber changed... Should i? any ideas?

YES you should have your alignment done.....I just installed my Eibachs....waited a week...and then had it done and it definately had to be adjusted....
no need to ruin a set of tires.....and not know it till its too late.

hi there,
i had the exact same issue when i put springs in my car... make sure you get a proper wheel alignment on front and back within 300kms... it made a world of difference, and gives you confidence to push the new handling capabilities of the P5!!!
