Default Car idles rough

The other night i was cruising along and some how i randomly dropped it from third into second. It idles rough. It doesnt miss, and drives fine but at idle my car vibrates every piece of plastic in the interior and the steering wheel. I did a compression test to see if it could be a valve or a ring. I got (from first cylinder to last) 195psi, 183psi, 185psi, 195psi. So that seems pretty good. Ive never worked out a k motor before just a few b motors and a d. Any ideas?

check your timing. Mine is doing the same and i found the timing chain had stretched and was slightly off, no check engine light either but does shake at idle ONLY.
