Vibration after lowering

Yesterday I installed a set of Tein S Tech springs on my 05 R53 and when accelerating in second gear there is a small vibration I'm feeling. Does anyone know what this could be? Could it be because the alignment is now off. It goes away when I am in all other gears accelerating and driving.

there are quite a few threads on this forum about this condition. generally, it is the drive shafts that don't like being at a "new" angle. some people have it and others don't. yours doesn't sound too severe, so probably nothing to worry about.

i don't want to be tough on new folks (welcome btw), but a search is often your best friend. people who have been on this forum for a long time get tired of the same threads and often don't respond.

Thanks! I did a search and read a few things but I wanted to explain my situation with the exact springs I had and what gear it was doing it in was the reason for starting a new thread, thanks for the info!
