Ok if you have 20"s.....
Ok if you have 20"s and a lowered car, is there something that HAS to be done to the front end for stability ??
Thanks

You should be fine, but typically, you will have a harsher ride in comparison to a stock wheel setup. I wonder if you meant "harsh" instead of stable? I'm not sure.
Come to think of it, depending on the wheels, you may possibly also need to have your inner front fender wells rolled.
You'll know if you need to have this done, if after the 20" install, you hear slight rubbing of the tire & inner fender well during partial & full lock turns.
I have 20" Auto Coutures & rolling my front inner wells didn't help. So, I just ripped the whole damn thing out.

i'm having difficulty interpreting the question as well...
i'm going to assume that you have 20"s and lowered as well, but the handling/drivability has changed? have u done a proper alignment? is the car too low? have u checked your suspension bushings for wear/damage?
i'm currently looking into getting the daizen front suspension bushings that everyone is raving about, but i'm faced with the expensive installation costs. i'm suffering the vibration and braking symptoms that indicating failing/failed oem bushings right now

I had some side to side vibration on my steering wheel at 45 to 55 mph. It did get a little better after an alignment and high speed balancing of the wheels but it was still there.
After the install of the Tein CS, Daizen front and rear sways and RMM strut bar there is no vibration at all. Not to mention that I will hopefully be installing some new tires this comming weekend and also have the car aligned. After this it should be even smoother.
