Default Car shakes when accelerate?

Hi everybody, I have a little problem with my 97 GSR I just bought a few days ago. When I rev it up to about 3000rpm and up in every gear, the whole car shakes. And I asked many friends about the problem, some said it could be the tires and alignment, and others said it could be the engine mouldings or something like that. So I was wondering if any of you know or had this kind of problem. I'd appreciate it if you guys can help me!

By the way, the car is lowered about 2.4 on the front and 2.2 on the rear, these measurements was guessed by my friend. And I changed all the 4 tires yesterday.

could be a couple things, tires off balance, possibly alighnment but if its rpm effective then it could be motor mounts. and possibly the axles

axles are what turns the wheels. they come out of the transmission, and go to the wheels. axles are cheap but i doubt thats your main problem. just have it checked out.
