Default Vibration ... anyone?

hey guys, i have an '08 s2000 w/ about 73k on it. i had my rear axles replaced today by my mechanic as i was suffering from the dreaded rear vibration caused by pitted cv cups ... anyway, he replaced all four rotors while at it and now I have the oddest vibration in any gear, I feel it's when i mash the gas and the car is building up speed/climbing the rpm band ... i can feel it throughout the car and anymore don't even want to hit 45mph + ... any suggestions???

Where did the new axles come from?

I recommend swaping the buckets left to right. NEVER buy auto parts house reman axles. Your vibration will be worse than before.

I had vibrations after lowering, got autozone axles for like $70 a piece after core return and now drives smooth as new. Lifetime warranty on those too.
