Does anyone know what this can be? the cars lowered 80mm and is on the bumpstops ( shit i know) and the rear shocks are leaking (obviously)

when under hard braking the rear beam vilontly vibrates, what could cause this?

cheers!

My thoughts exactly.

How can you expect it to do anything else when you've listed faults already?

sounds like yo need a complete back end mate. your disc are fooked causing the beam to vibrate because its to low which proberly hasn't been apart since it was lowered which was more than likely done the wrong way.Huh? get it sorted
