the vibration is from replacing your suspension peices and thusly the road vibration is transfered to you more noticably on takeoffs,
or maybe you bearings are going out, that would cause vibration also

Alighnment has been done also they say I was 3 decmals off on each side ... But I'm gonna take in consideration the tire rod ends and the bearings ... But it does it only at slow speeds.. And up inclines or hills .. But once I pick up speed where ever I am up down etc its fine??????

No. Not necessarily. Jack the car up with the wheels about 4 inches off the ground. Stick a pry bar under it, and pry up. If you feel play in the wheel, it could be the wheel bearing or ball joint. Then, ditch the pry bar, get on your knees and see if the wheel has some play on the sides. If it does, its the bearing. If it doesnt, its the ball joint.

just replaced ball joints with control arms... Thats why im thinking maybe the tire is messed up? cause when we finished the lowering with the ksports coilovers, before i had replaced the bad axles and ball joints and control arms when the tires were splitting like a v i tried driving it home thinking it was ok .. but those tires were screaming murder and the axles sounded so bad that i had to pull over and called AAA flatbed... so the next day we installed the axles and conrol arms with ball joints .. i had to get the alighnment .. it was off by 3 decimls so the tires place says ...so they fixed that so now its all good other than that vibration, which i believe it mey be tire rod ends .. or bearings .. or tires got really f***** up... IDK!!!

When you were checking for play, were you positioning your hands on left and right of the wheel (front and rear) or were you doing top and bottom?
checking for play Left and right usually means inner/outer tierods or LCA bushings (pry bars help a lot too)
Top and bottom usually means bad ball joint or extremely damaged bearing such as mine 2 days ago lol
