Ok i lowered my car about a month ago. After lowering it i noticed that the car hops at low speeds like the tires are not round but oval or something, and on the highway i get alot of vibration and shaking.

What could be the cause of this any info would be great.

Thank You in advance.

is it mainly one wheel? If you were adjusting coilover height, did you re-tighten all your lugnuts after?

Low speeds, so I am assuming it is not anything like tie rods etc. Steering wheel vibrating?

Maybe rotors are warped? When is the last time you replaced the brakes?

Flat spotted tires? Check the wear on each, see if there are any spots where additional wearing has occurred.

Unbalanced wheels? The only thing I know of is having them checked by a mechanic with the proper machine.
