Vibration is a funny thing. Very hard to pinpoint wihout just.. trying stuff..so to speak. I just had my tires balances and it went away. On my old car, still a Mustang.. I was driving along one winter day and noticed that above 45 or so the wheel was vibrating like a $1 a minute hotel bed. I pulled off the highway and into a parking lot to inspect... I kicked the built up snow in the wheel well off the car and... good to go.

Point is, with vibrations, there are so many things that can cause it, ya just have to start somewhere (preferably the least expensive) and work your way through until you've tried all the usual suspects.

been looking into lowering mine as well
+1...probably has something to do with an improper pinion angle. when lowering it you should also go get all the alignments checked as well.
