I have a 2011 is 350awd and I do not wobble? I'm dropped on the updated Fsport springs with stock suspension. I had some jiggles, but it all cleared up once I got an alignment. My drop is pretty conservative though. I guess it's a rule of thumb that if u have coilovers, you slam it to the ground maybe bring it up a bit?

nothing wrong with conservative drop... at least you dont have to worry about rubbing at all.

muggy, are you still on springs or have you switched to bcr?

i've been on road magnets for a year now, and i've only had a wobbles/vibrations once or twice. not sure what would happen if i made the switch to coils (megan ez)

I've had the wobble 10-20mph and some vibration 40-50mph ever since I installed the coils. I've been at 23.5" (ground to fender)... got really annoyed, raised the car up to 24.75" and still had the same problem. So I just dumped it back down to 23.5"... I hate having coilovers and not utilizing them to the fullest.

if you have aftermarket wheels, make sure you have hubrings, that may be a factor as well. I am noticing vibrations but i just got them installed and no alignment yet on my is250 awd. i will keep you posted, getting alignment tomorrow!

I have done an alignment, hub centric rings, balanced wheels/tires, etc. The vibration must be from a crazy angle of axles in the front.

Just like someone suggested, I just put the car in Neutral when I'm stopped at red lights and what not.
