Default Vibration from rear when in wot?

Tonight i went out driving and did a 1st-3rd wot rip. While I was on it I felt a vibration from what felt like it was in the rear. It kinda feels like when ur rotors are warped. I did a small search and couldn't find something like my problem. Any people experience this before. My only mods are full coilovers and a cat-back

Do a search for "axle spacers" on the site, CV wear may be your problem (it is not only related to lowered vehicles) I just put Megan Racing spacers on my std height AP1 and it fixed my problem.

iv had this problem for awhile now. first i replaced the axes and got rid of alot of vib. seconed i added T1R driveshat spacers and helpd out alot (sounds like your problem) and i still have a little bit left. i think i have a failing caliper cuz my rear rotors (6 months old) are shot and sounds like the rear pads are draging on the rotor more then they should.

good luck with the search

Doing the spacer job is much quicker than the buckets. time is dollars.. etc. both work well.
With the spacers and bucket swap, I hope to get 4 bites at the cherry 8-)

Buckets take two hours and are free.
