Default s2k blahh

well i think my s2000 is about to die on me or some gay reason... the suspension feels very wack.. i got tien coilovers on them and its just not stiff enough... sometimes i feel like my wheels are going to fly off or something and also for some odd reason my car starts to shake when i hit 50 mph, but when i pass it, its normal again... wierd..

You are supposed to preload the clutch cylinder when you install Tiens.

What exactly does "Very Wack" consist of? Did you get an alignment after you installed your teins? I'd start there. Has the clutch been replaced? Your car is going on 6 years old you know.

Im going to try and be as contructive as possible...

"Wack" is pretty vague.. but here are some extremely common, and often overlooked reasons why your car can act "Wack" (per the symptoms you described)

1: Are your rims stock? if not, what size
2: What kinda tires are you running? what size?
3: Have you checked tire pressure? for every tire...
4: Who did the coilover install?
5: preload? is it even even (ride height)?
6: How many miles are on the car?
7: Stock lugs? are they torqued?

All these could cause the effects you described.. cept for the shaking.. which sounds like "the shakes" that some people get.. theres a TSB on it i believe?
