2 piece T1R (the blue ones)... not sure the width! the engraving on them says AP2...

The car exhibits vibration at 75mph from the rear, im scheduling a balancing of the rear wheels with a lower resolution on the machine instead of the typical averaging they do (or did).
There's something else going on. The vibrations I ixhibited were when I had the throttle down all the way in any/all rpms, gears, and speed. Having the throttle down halfway or less and it would go away.

I started getting them before I dropped my ride. I have about 144,000 on her. It got worse after I dropped. I got the two piece T1R's (purple). Installing them on Wed. I will let you know.

I just bought the T1R race version 2 peice. My car has 35k on it. I lowered it at around 19k. I track it often. The axles vibrate pretty bad...especially on real hard cornering at the track.

It happens at part throttle and full throttle. The only time it doesn't happen is when I'm crusing.

Hopefully it all works out.

My car has been lowered for probably close to 100k with just Eiback pro-kit springs. When I bought her with 55k, it already had the springs. I put J's axle spacers on around the 75k mark, for no other reason except that I am a brand whore and love Js Racing.
My car vibrates bad right now, but my engine mounts are torn.
Innovative 75a hopefully going in this weekend.

Spacers are a myth! lol idk but i've had two lowered S2k's and ran that way for awhile no issues so I don't buy into them.
