Hey Everyone,
My car's been vibrating lately and i haven't been doing anything about it. (at 60mph - 80mph)
I think its the wheel balancing, but it didn't start vibrating until i lowered the coilovers recently.
Do you guys think its alignment? or is it wheel balance? or is it the worst scenario, bent rim?
There are no leaks or any problems at the moment.

I would think you need an alignment since you changed the ride height/messed with the suspension 
did you ever find out why one of your wheels was losing psi's?

the car usually vibrates at 60mph when wheels are unbalanced. It could be a bent rim too but i recomend you to go and do the balance, they'll tell you what's wrong.
balance is usually like $50 and it is recomended to do it every 5-10k.
