Highway Vibrations

My suspension setup consists of Tokiko Illumina Shocks with Tein Luxury Master Springs. Now when I am on the highway everything is smooth til about 60-65, then the steering wheel and the gear shift start to have pretty annoying vibrations coming through. Makes for a much more unrelaxed highway drive. The ride seems to get a little better upwards of 75mph. Is there anything I should be looking into to replace. I got an allignment less than a month ago right before I drove across state and the problem was still there, so Im running out of ideas.

Any ideas or comments greatly appreciated

If your tires are out of balance, that could cause it, one of the balances could have fell off. If you have a cel that could be a factor. If you recently got rims that could be another factor cause with some rims you have to have hubcentric rings, not having those could lead to vibration.

No bushings or rubber pieces that could use replacement. I know in BMWs that rubber bushings are very important to the ride quality, just wondering if that carries over on all vehicles

your problem is that your driving a maxima. Being lowered doesn't help either. Most suspension/wheel mods seem to significantly increase vibrations. I've just learned to deal with mine.

I wasn't planning on ever put anymore money into this car. I was going to get a 540i and have an infiniti G20 as my DD but when taking the car to get the exhaust repaired it shot a rod though the engine.
