My 65mph+ wobble was caused by defects with my iForged rims which I am currently trying to get worked out with little luck so far.eudaman said:

You sure that its the wheel and not the Lug nuts. My wifes Mini had a high speed wobble off balance right. NO. rebaclanced everthing still there. Put back on stock rims with the new lugs wobble there. Dealer Shits say its alingment. I take it to my mech checks it everthing is spec. So we order some ET lugs the next day put them on no wobble. It ride like a Go cart like before. HEHE

yeah man it's the wheels. I saw them on the balancer and there was a serious back and forth lateral wobble, infuriating to say the least after waiting 8 weeks for the rims. I had them sent back to get "fixed" and got them back a little over a week ago.. I got about 10 feet from the shop when I noticed that they were now rubbing & making some weird noise so I turned right back around and put the stockers back on (everything is just fine with the stock rims on).
Now iForged wants me to drive an hour and a half to their place with the crappy wheels on & prove that there's a problem. I'm not driving my car with some BS wheels grinding away at something! I am trying to get some satisfaction with them but it is slow going. The way I see it they should give me a brand new set properly milled for the car , or give me my money back.

Dam stright if they cant make it right they should give you your money and take it to a better brand? I could understand maybe a bad run of chrome I had something like that with the Foose but 2 differant sets at differant times whats the chances.
Interesting subject let us know how it turns out.
But to keep us on topic of the post. Is there really any diffanc in the Mopar spings and the Eibich. Arnt they making the mopar ones?

the mopar springs are supposed to only be a 1" drop vs a 1.6" for the eibachs (I don't know if they make them for MOPAR but wouldn't be surprised if they did). When i first got the eibachs the car sat exactly 1" lower all around and i could still get in & out of the garage w/o scraping and I was also happy with how it looked, so I figure if the Mopars settle in to 1" I'll still like the look and be able to get into the garage again..Scarbrs said:

UPDATE:
after a few emails & phone calls Vince down at iForged has been very helpful I'm heading down there Fri morning and hopefully everything will be resolved (it appears the shop may have been using the wrong lugs as posted above) and I'll have my new shoes on for the meet!
