Reply to "Driveline vibration after lowering car?"

UPDATE:

I finally had some free time to work on the car a bit last week...
From a previous post, the rear wheel camber after lowering was:

2.0 degrees - driver side
2.5 degrees - passenger side

I pulled out one .100" thick shim from each of the four lower control arm mounting points.
This brought the camber figures down to:

1.0 degrees - driver side
1.5 degrees - passenger side

I then used my adjustable upper control arms to dial out almost all of the remaining camber.
The figures are now:

0.5 degrees - driver side
0.7 degrees - passenger side

After making these adjustments, I went for a test ride.
The results were great, the vibration was almost completely eliminated!
I may tweak the ride height a bit more in the coming week or so.
Once that's finalized, I'll get the camber as close to zero as I can, and call it done.

Thanks to all for the help!
