Allow me to translate:
yes its normal if you didn't get silencer tubing with your springs...
Contact Goldline.
get some.. put it on.
Based on what you say below... yes... in fact your should always get it done if you do major suspension work like lowering springs...
Well, yes... its normal for a car with a bad alignment...
Yes we noticed... lol.. sorry couldn't resist.
bwhahahahahahaha

Please help me. Please note I am not a mechanic.

*note on the installation:
I had some problem with the nut turning but not loosening. The key is to leave the car down with the tires on, loosen the 17mm bolt, and THEN jack it up. I note this cuz when I was doing the passenger side, I loosened the 17mm nut before jacking it up and it loosened easily. The driver's side was jacked up and I could not loosen the nut. So I put the tire back on and let the car back down to see if it would help and it did. This note has nothing to do with the problem I am having, I just think you should modify the DIY instructions to include this.
oh yeah, I also noticed that at 80+ mph the car starts to shake.
The steering wheel starts to quiver.
It did not do this with the OEM springs.

Could his shaking be from improperly lining up the boot and the upper spring plate during installation? I know when I installed my springs, I had one slip on me during install and I didn't know about it. My steering wheel was way off center and the car shook. After taking them back out I saw the problem, realigned them and after the install, everything was back to normal.
