Hmm I've been lowered for over 20k on springs, but I don't notice any particularly weird sounds or vibrations... Do you feel it more or do you hear it more?

Typically a vibration during acceleration on lowered car is a result of pitted CV cups. You can either use the spacers to move the bearings to a different location in the cup or swapping the cups which changes which face the bearings wear against.
I've done both and both fix the issue. What often is the process that happens is people do the spacer thing as it is a easier fix and once the vibrations come back again, which they will, they do the CV swap.
