The only thing I can think of if is by lowering your car you are taking the tires too far out of alignment. Your right side might be wrong as it is, bent tie rod or control arm maybe?? And my lowering it you are making the problem even worse and you are getting a vibration.
Where is the vibration coming from? Through the steering wheel or in your seat? If its in the steering wheel (which it sounds like) then it really sounds like you have a tire out of balance. By lowering the car you car changing the camber slightly and if your tire is slightly out of balance the excess negative camber would increase the wobbling of the wheel and tire.

Well as for the suspension it was all good......did outter tie rods already and also had a 4 wheel alignment...The shake i can feel through the floor, its not a steering wheel shaker....but you jogged my memory...i did have 2 bent wheels before.....since then i have replaced them..... and if there was a bend on the inner lip then that negative camber would have effected that.....i might have to try and put them in again since the new wheels....Has anyone had this same problem when lowering their cars???
