Default those with lowered suspension

Did anyone that had a vibration issue around 60 mph feel any increase or decrease in that vibration after lowering your car?

Yes, a subtle decrease in vibration that erupts around 65 mph. I just installed L-Tuned shocks and springs and had a 4 wheel alignment. NO wheel rotate or balance was performed. The vibration has decreased, but is still there, and the steering feels tighter. I've finally come to the conclusion that the vibration is caused by my aftermarket wheels and crappy tires (Sumitomo HTR+). I think all four are out of round and were that way when I got them.

My car is definitely more solid, but all the wheel and tire related vibration is still there.

(Stock 17" chrome + ContiExtCont)

I'm hoping to fix it with PZeroNeros and a fabulous tire shop.
