Wheel judder with lowered G

Hey guys i was just wondering if anyone else has run into this problem. I recently lowered my G on some 350Z h-techs. Now when i am driving i get a ton of wheel "judder" now i realize that doesnt really describe it very well but it is the only word i can think of that would describe it, if i drive over a bump at speed the stearing wheel will just judder and shimmy a ton. I have driven lowered cars befor and there is a bit of wheel movement to be expected but this feels like it is a bit much. Also when my g goes over bumps it feels like the car never really squats it bounces over bumps like nothing, this could abviously just be from the spring rates on the h-techs but i was under the impression they did not have this much bounce to them, i did buy them used and i was wondering if this could be that they are just not as responsive anymore.

Thanks for your help guys, any ideas help

Wheel judder is caused by improper break in of brake pads and will only occur when you have overheat your brake calipers.

Lowering your car will not cause what you describe. My advice is to go back and tighten every nut to proper torque specifications. Sounds like something is loose.
