you have motor mount inserts? according to your garage you do... I would say there is your culprit.

Also check your tire pressure, tire wear to make sure you have it aligned, and then make sure the wheels are properly balanced... I assume with your fancy-schmancy wheels you just got the weights on the inside of rim? That would cause vibration...

also, the yellow on the brake calipers may be causing it :oops: :lol: j/k ;)

ah tricky, yea sorry for the late reply and thanks for yours, I think I remember reading those motor mounts decrease wheel hop but since they made for racing, street would do it no good, but I've been thinking bout taking them out, I'm pretty sure the rims do have weighs in them but now that I think about it I didn't have any prob. with vibrations till I put in the damn mounts.
Heh.
