you are having wheel shake because the i forget what they are called but the connectors from the axel to the wheel are bent at an angle because when you lower the car instead of being ---- they are \ tilted and its something you gotta live with but also you can check out alignment to see if that helps.
if you dont get it aligned at your current height if you drop it again after it will be out of alignment.
find a shop that can do it.

your camber is off....get a camber kit
is it only when you are braking?? if so it could be a few things or only one thing, 1 tire balance, 2 warped brake rotors, 3 warped brake rotors & bad ball joints, 4 rotors & tie rods, i'd start w/ the brakes first cause they are pretty cheap for our cars and go from there
Aight thanx for all the suggestions i think ill start with the brakes and go from there. Are camber kits expensive??Cod Man said:I've had this prob. a few times and rotors fixed it.

tie rods that was the name
no skunk 2 sells them and they are reasonable, but when you install the camber kit, take that to a shop and tell them you have a camber kit installed, and when alignment is performed to take that into consideration.
hope that helps
worked for me

but to tell you the truth, if you feel the vibration when you brake that is directly proportionate to the disc brakes(front), rotors are the back(totally different from front discs), and if it is when you apply the brakes this is the front, get a new set, and you should be set, but to not wear a hole in your pocket, and in you tires, you should get a camber kit, this is a necessity for a lowered car, you usually get neg. camber when slammed or lowered. but alignment + camber kit = ur set.
Ok i got it...... The past 2 days when i back out my garage when im reversing and i turn my wheel to the left i hear a clunk sounds like somethin is loose!!! I recently installed a used zc motor and when i put it back all together it all went well . I made sure i tightened all the nuts and put all cotter pins in place!!! Any suggestions to what im hearin?????CiVIcCFAsST said:

I had the clunk sound when I turned my wheel to the right. I had to get my axle rebuilt because the sound you are hearing is your cv axle. Get it taken care of and get that camber kit. Cost me 250 to have it rebuilt, I know all you guys are gonna say you should have done it yourself but you cant really work on your car like that in an apartment parking lot.
