They recommended that I put some stock rims on my car and then it should ride alot better. Anyone wanna hook me up with some cheap stock rims with tires?

yeah, that sounds like a load. the rims shouldn't make a difference unless they're warped.

try taking off the little clips that the factory uses to hold to rotor in place. those are like having a small washer in between the rim and hub. I had a similar problem when I went with after market wheels and tires that were bigger than stock. removing them made a difference for me. It sounds silly but it is worth a try.

I looked for those when I got the new tires, but there were no washers on my car. I guess someone already beat me to it.

I think i read on here once that if the drive shaft is put on in correctly that the car may vibrate. And she is stock. And it doesn't have indepent, now that I think about it the guy that i was talking to was tard.
