Default Bad vibration at 40mph

Hay guys i have a pretty bad vibration coming from the rear end approaching 40mph and a little after. This all started after i changed to coilovers from stock suspension. Now its even vibrating while cruising on the freeway at about 80mph. Anyone else have this problem or have the solution?

people get spacers when there slammed because if you dont you can stretch your drive shafts

when you are lowered the angle where the wheel to the drive train is spaced out. (like getting slammed and not getting a camber kit)
so when you add spacers it compensates for space which has strain on it.

you can read about it here but t1r spacers are kinda expensive!

you can get cheap ones tho, i think there all just about the same,
just name brand stuff will be more expensive
