Not lowered yet, the car was mapped when i got it but its great, power is good and my other car is a scooby!
I would get it checked asap just incase something has come loose/undone from your previous work.

Before you do anything else I'd sort out that problem.If you did'nt have it before you changed the suspension I'd check all the suspension again. Have you put the wheels on tight enough. Have you got anything sticking in your tyre, you'd be supprised what vibration you will get.
      As for the brakes if they are that bad you'd feel the wobble all the time at all speeds.

Anyways on the way home tonight from work everytime i press the brake pedal the front right wheel or brakes is vibrating.

Does anyone know what it could be ?

if the vibration is only happening when you are using the brakes then you have a warped disk, as for the arb get the whiteline one as it goes under the drive shaft apposed to over it as the standard one does damian@dpm does a good price on these see here http://www.dpmperformance.co.uk/whiteline-22mm-front-anti-roll-bar-golf-4-14-16-18-18t-19sdi-19tdi-20-23-v5-0797-p-2815.html

Guys.

Thanks for your help, i took the car back to my mechanic he checked the front disc and said as you suspected they are warped, i got the front discs and pad changed now all is good.

About the whiteline arbs, wouldnt i need the adjustable ones instead of the one you put inthe link, are these the correct ones i need to stop rubbing and for me to lower alittle more on front and rear.

Thanks again all.
