Shaking steer

Hi,

Last week, I installed my eibach pro kit. When I driving at highway, at approximately 80 mph, I feel my wheel steer is shaking. What service do I need to fix it? One more question, Do I need camber kit eventhough the pro kit doens't provide too low ride? (1" all sides)

Thanks guys.

First get a camber kit, then a thorough alignment. If that doesn't work then you need your tires rebalanced. Get the balance done well not at a crappy firestone or something...get a good electronic balancing.

IDQcivic should not be trusted
you should get the camber kit, because i used to have the pro kit and it ruined my tires, they were so bold around the inside edge I am lucky i didn't have a blow out, get the camber kit, then get the alignment.

I had my alignment done at Sears and if it still has a problem afterward they do it again for free within two or so months I think they said.
