well i put my rims on this weekend and now i have a really bad wiggle at bumps and even just randomly down the highway...the car did this before with the steel wheels on but not so badly, i figured it was just my tires that were garbage :S but now its worse, sway bar links? what other options could this be..theres no noise it just wiggles the car almost like hittin a patch of ice sorta feel

Jack up your rear, hold the tires at 9 and 3 o'clock, and wiggle them (like you were trying to manually steer them), if you have 1-2mm looseness there you might need some new control arms.
Exactly what you are describing happend to me on my 5th gen. --------------------  -Rémy 02 SiR, 08 250R |
