Not sure what the changed values were. Will dig up the paperwork tomorrow and see if it gave a before/after snapshot. However they did say everything was brought back into OEM specs.

The rear lower control arms are aftermarket and it's not a vibration from them.

No speed really is not an issue which is why I didn't think it was a suspension problem at first. I get a vibration 100% of the time when under higher torque loads from acceleration. Just getting on the throttle will bring about the vibrations and it subsides as I let off the pedal. At higher speeds on the hwy you can start feeling the vibe come back in but normal day to day driving on a street you cannot feel it unless accelerating.
