are you braking when you slowing down at all?
If you brake and it really feels like its vibrating, then it could be warped rotors. Axles seem to cause lots of vibration problems too. check if you had any broken CV boots. no grease in the boots can cause vibration.

its w/o hitting the brakes and the axles are pretty fresh since the swap was done last year.

glad you found the problem!

as for how low I am,
ummm right now its 3 inches with GC, earlier in auto-x season it was 2.25-2.5, whatever didnt make it rub when turning. I think its the quality of the shop, cause all the axles have come from them, they were suppose to be OEM replacements, but i keep breaking boots. I guess im too aggressive for the boots. the axles are fine, its just those damned boots
