Installed my H&R's and now the wheels shimmy
I installed my h&r springs about 3 weeks ago. had a friend at the MINI dealership do them. Got the car aligned and it still has a shimmy or shake in the whole car. This only happens between 20-30MPH. I've checked every thing out behind the wheels and it looks good and tight. I have never had this happen in a lowered car before does anyone else have this problem? I may just put the factory springs back in or wait for the JCW suspension. Please help me out!

are you sure? a few have reported it, some are contacting a vendor about driveshafts to correct the lowering shimmy

Have the lug nuts loosened and then tightened with a torque wrench not an air gun. Air tools are not regulated and your lugs could have been attached with different rates. This would certainly cause a shimmy and can also cause your rotors to eventually warp as well. I don't trust dealers nor tire installers when it comes to this. I always re-do them once I get the car home.
Hope this helps,
