Is this a common problem you have heard or seen?
I go through multiple wheels trying to fix such issues. I drive long distances and I hate the vibration/shimmy issues.
The tech said there was excessive wheel "hop" and recommended the road force balancing.

Kinda sucks when you spend all this dough and factory rims have a smother ride!

Thanks! The lip came from you!

The 285 up front more closely matches the rolling diameter of the 335 rear...so I went 285 and threw 20 mm spacers up front and back (not shown) KW V3 ( not shown on pic-some issues to work out)

So if there are any suspension knowledgeable guys tune in please...

KW V3 on - front and rear.

At low speeds there is some helper 'spring binding' at low speeds.

Piston rod nut not overtorqued...taken to 2 independent shops to verify.

What size H&R trak spacers did you use? I just lowered my x5m with H&R springs and I think the wheels need to be out a bit wider. Your set up looks great. Thanks.

the ride is interesting to say the least...

since the suspension was installed with the spacers there is a slight steering/wheel alignment issue that is felt over 60 miles/hr.

I have yet to align after because my shop can't accommodate the 22"+335 rear rubber. I will soon at the next service.

I have some lo res pics here..
