Passat (B5) :: Occasional / Slight Steering Vibration After Lowering

So I've been lowered on Neuspeed Sports and Koni Yellows for the past week now. I've noticed that when driving at about 60 mph or more on the highway I occasionally get a slight vibration from the steering wheel. It doesn't always happen and I do not know if it is partly due to the road surface. it does not seem so.

Is this just because I have lowered the car and have not yet gotten an alignment done? I'm waiting a few weeks for the suspension to settle before I do that. It does look like my front camber is off a bit, but it's hard to tell for sure. I haven't had this happen before, and it doesn't happen continuously. Will an alignment remedy this?

Passat (B5) :: B5.5 Factory Alarm Remote Range?

I've got a 04 Passat TDI wagon with factory keyless locks. The remote/keyless entry range sucks! And yes I put a new battery in it. I've had cheapo alarms operate much further than this factory system. Can I extend the range somehow? Does the keyless transmit through the antenna? Are there any range boosters or ways to make this a real world usable feature?

Passat (B7) :: Key Not In Range Message When Start Button Pressed

Recently I went out to start the car with the key I typically use, and when I pressed the Start button I got the message "Key Not In Range." The key will lock / unlock the car, but simply won't start it. I've been having to use my spare / second key in the meantime. I haven't had a single problem with the car since I bought it Sept 2012.

Passat (B5) :: Engine Code PO116 - Engine Coolant Temp CKT Range / Performance

I just had my 1998 Passat 1.8T with 97000 miles checked since the engine light came on. It started this afternoon and the car ran just fine. I took it to an Advance Auto and after they plugged in the OBD tool it came back with the code PO 116. Engine Coolant temp CKT Range/Performance.

The fellow decided to clear the code and then the car would not start. I waited for about 15 minutes and the car started with some hesitation and the light was out. When I got home I let the car sit for a few seconds and it started perfectly like nothing ever happened.

Does that mean that the temperature coolant sensor is bad??? I have a Hanes manual and apparently is not too difficult to do. Would I have to partially drain the radiator?

Prius C :: Alignment After Lowering?

Have lowered C, an difficulty getting it into decent alignment? Do I need to purchase a camber kit? I'm on Tanabe DF210s, which are no lower than 1.8", I believe! I'm making an appt. for this Thursday to get the alignment done. I had springs installed this past Friday but wanted to wait a few for them to settle. (I put about 800 miles a week on the car.)

Basically, I'm just looking to know whether the shop should be able to get the car within spec. without the addition of a camber kit or anything else that might be required for the alignment.

Lexus IS 2014+ :: Alignment After Lowering?

Problems getting an alignment AFTER lowering. seems no one in my area has the old fashioned machine where it clamps on the wheel edge,they have the ones that clamp on the outside of the tire,which limits the rotation of the wheel if the body is too close. I am on rsr downs with Vossens,which wont work at all, so hoping the stock wheels will.
