Default Vibration on Cold Mornings

I seem to have an intermittent vibration coming from my suspension on cold mornings. The vibration lasts for about a second and occurs every 2 or 3 seconds until the car warms up or I drive it for several minutes. Has anyone else experienced this. I am still running stock wheels and tires but have change springs and sways. I did have this prior to the suspension upgrades. Any input is appreciated.

When its cold the air in your tire is cold which decreases your air pressure. Once you start rolling around and getting your tires spinning the air inside will get warmer and warmer from the friction of your tire rolling on pavement. Once it gets warmed up your air pressure will rise anywhere from 4-7 psi and you will notice that there are no vibrations.

I have had 4 previous cars and never experiened this problem. Why does the Z do it? Do you have this? I am not concerned with this, just curious what it is.

Never seen this. Sounds like you are just too sensative, but if you want you can drive down to NW Florida, and I will take a ride in it and tell you if you are crazy or not . My only suggestion would be to get all the torque specs and a good torque wrench and go to work re torqueing every bolt in your suspension. Tell me how you know the vibration is coming from the suspension?
