Need Help! - Vibration
Before install of the following had no problem.
Professionally installed the following
Eibach Pro Kit Springs
H&R 15mm Spacers/studs in front
18" Falken Torque 5 Wheels/Falken Azenis ST115 Tires
I get a terrible amount of vibration when approaching the speed of about 55 or 60 and it continues through higher speed.
Here is what I have had done so far.....All done professionally.
- Wheel Alignment
- Wheel Balancing
- Visual Inspections
After all of this I still get the vibration.
What can it be and how can it be fixed?
PLEASE HELP!

First red flag that pops up for me is the 15mm spacers. Are they hub centric? Were they made specifically for an EVO? Do the lugs have the proper seat to tighten the wheel down properly? Bet its the wheel hardware.

My dad just had problems with his 3000gt with bad tire mounting and balancing. Whomever did your work, take your car back and tell them to re-mount and balance everything. That will rule that out if you're still having problems.
they came mounted and balanced from wheeldiscount.com
Then I had them rebalanced, not remounted. But when they where rebalanced they even changed to different weights and didn't notice anything wrong with the mounting.

It appears that they are Hub Centric as listed on their website
and they came with new longer studs
What Neal is saying is correct. Did you get NEW longer lug nuts. It may be that the lug nuts you're using (stock ones?) are too short and DO NOT seat properly thus causing vibration at higher speeds. If that is the case DO NOT drive your car as the wheels can come off.

They are defenitely locking in and down tightly

I am considering new wheels if this is the case
I know you said you put new wheels and spacers on but maybe your rotors are just warped. Mine started with a vibration at that speed and after about 2 weeks the wheel vibrated whenever I braked. I had my tires balanced and there still was a vibration. I brought it in to Mitsu to check the rotors and the rotors were warped. Have Mitsu or any shop check your rotors. It is pretty cheap to get them turned if that is the problem. This is just an idea if nothing else works. Good luck!
