Default 2011 IS350 AWD Lowered Suspension Issue Longevity?

I am new to Lexus, but I have read that many AWD 350's get vibrations at a stop and also a "wobble" up to 20 or so mph. I just lowered my 2011 IS 350 AWD with coilovers and definitely got both of those symptoms.

I can get used to them if need be. I am just concerned about wear on axles, driveshaft, etc. Are these issues just annoying or will they cause premature or catastrophic failure/wear?

I'm not entirely correct, but I think the lowest to remove vibrations is 26.5 inches from ground to fender. Again I'm not entirely sure. You'll have to search the threads.

what does this mean? If you are lower than 26.5 inches in the front then you could get some wobble or something?
