preaching to the choir on that one
yea it definitely doesnt sound right. yes a lowering spring will wear out a shock quicker but i highly doubt this is your case. did it ride perfectly fine before the lowering springs? did you notice this right after the car was lowered?

yea if it was fine before and now all of a sudden it sucks, i would say something was wrong with the install. it would be a very high coincidence that the shocks blew already. i know of a good shop, a little out of the way for philly but thats where i took my car to have the bcr's dialed in and alignment done. they were actually the ones that give the info for the spacers for the wobble/vibrations as well.

their a little expensive when it comes to alignment but i highly recommend them. they took everything into consideration even my wheel width's and offsets to dial it in. very good shop and popular on my other local forum.

I scheduled an appointment, they're booked until the first week of June. The car shutters when I hit the brakes as if I need motor mounts ever since the wheels were mounted, I'll ask them about that too. Thanks again.

I had the f-sport springs on my RWD for a few years. I just got the BC-R coil overs with Swift springs upgrade, SPC Front ball joints and Rear Control Arms. All I have to say is i am extremely happy with my ride. The bottoming out feeling is gone and I can control the softness or hardness of my ride. I would high recommend this coil over setup. If not, then I would look into some custom Swift Springs to replace the F-Sport springs.
