Default Car vibrates a lot under acel.

So I recently lowered my car quite a bit and now whenever I am accelerating hard I get a lot of vibration in the steering wheel and throughout the whole car. What do you think could be the problem?

I have the ground control adjustable coil overs. do you think I need to get the spacers from j's? Its not like crazy vibration but I mean I can defiantly feel it. It only does it under hard acceleration.

Most definitely could be alignment, did you have it done after lowering it?

Was it just recently or right after dropping it? Did you check tire wear?

I would do that first before looking at the CVs since you lowered it quite a bit from the sound of it.
