It's still shaking.

It seems that it happens in any gear from 0-30mph then it just disappears?(????)

 

that's how low i want mine! great looking car!

are these regular h&r's or club sport h&r's?

thanks

is it just me or does ur front camber looks like postive camber instead of negative? i have absolutely no knowledge on these alignment stuff, is this normal?

 

^^^^ I was thinking the same.
did you get an alignment compensating for driver's weight?

 

looks sweet but you must have really good roads where you live...

 

looks good..but please describe the "wobble" or whatever you are having...

 

Maybe it could be due to bad front lower control arm bushings?

 

That is true, I just replace mine. Both were completely blown through. Much tighter drive now. I am just wondering if what you are going through is just because you have a lowered car..You kno that you stiffen things up a whole lot when you do that. My car has all kinds of vibrations/noises, rubbing in bumps, loud road noise, very stiff. Had to pull over one time cuz my friend got sick when driving a little bit on a windy/bumpy road. :P

 

is the wobbling common with all coilovers or just the H&R's?
MSFIT what coilovers did u end up with?

 

Wobble might not be the best way to explain them, shaking is more like it.

I'm experiencing shaking through the floor, accelerator and shift **** from ~0-30mph. It feels like it's coming from the front?

And about the ride being rougher, actually it's smoother now. I was surprised, I thought it'd be rough like crazy, but oh was I wrong. I mean it's not MB E-class but yeah. It's still rock solid!

Help!

 

I'm wondering if anyone else can chime in? Has anyone else experienced the vibration?

 

yes, I got it after I installed the M7 springs which result in a 1.3" drop (approx). The wobble/shake is exactly as described below. After 10K it's still not quite gone but it's either getting better or I've gotten good at ignoring it...

 

After a retorque and balancing, I'd check the bushings at each corner. The stock MINI bushings are a sort of neoprene like squishy rubber, not hard rubber nor polyurethane bushings mind you, but almost like a nerf football in consistency. They tend to deform and wear away with the suspension getting loose because of it. It might be worth it to have your car checked out by the dealer, they should be able to check if there is too much play due to bushing deterioration.

Also if you replace them, there are several ways to go: stock, poly, and maybe even hard rubber ('though I haven't seen hard rubber on the aftermarket yet). Search NAM for Powerflex and Mini-Madness threads on these bushings.

 

i thought there wuz but if not then a whole new thread might help to hunt down a solution.soon i hope, b4 i lower mine...
i hate shakes, rattles and/or wobbles

 

Thanks, I'll look into it, how much money are we talking? For new bushings.

 

He's running H&R springs.

 

it is a good idea

 

so this shaking problem isnt due to alignment,tightening of nuts, bolts/ camber ?? but more so due to bushings wearing out? doesnt sound right to be honest.
