I have the same exact problem. I lowered my car on B&Gs on tuesday and ive been trying to figure out whats going on with it. Vibration from the front end during acceleration... I took it to the shop the mechanic said its too low and the axle is binding, im not positive thats my problem though..
Heres a pic of how mine sits.

Honestly to me it sounds like a worn CAB or bent endlink. Those axles arent nessisarily made for lowered cars but they are made much stronger than the oem axles.

and its not a universal issue. ive been on h&r sports for a year without issue. I did upgrade to the ss/tc front sway recently and that helped take away the "clunk" we are all used to. but thats it

Well my car is still pretty new and nothing was wrong with it before so I'm prolly gonna take these off cuz there's no way I'm gonna let my car drive like **** over looking cool, so who wants to buy 2 day old springs?

wow you guys are so quick and easy to give up a fight.
i had the same problem this is what i did
made sure my wheels/tires were balanced
got an alignment
got a new endlink on the side that was shuttering
problem solved!
it was the endlink. i spent i think 100$ total figuring it out.
you took the time to choose a suspension you liked, took the time to put it on, took the time to take pics all around and show us how proud you were, take the time to figure out the problem and fix it.
its not axle binding ill guarantee you that my vote is still swaybar endlink.
mine you could not visually see that it was bent on the car until it was taken off and put side by side with the new one.
heres pictures of mine, will have new ones shortly

well whatev springs are off and stocks are on and it drives like a real car again.
where did you get your endlink? and the thing is i cant tell wich side it is? so i have no clue cuz it feels like my front wheels are just gonna fly off. but if the company takes the springs back no problems then there gone but if not they will be posted on here most likely

You can also place some spacers under all the engine/trans mounts to space the axles back into proper geometry. The front trans mount might get a little tricky. Or you can just quit being a girl and drive your modified car for what it is...a modified car :-P

Check the toe of the car. When you lower it a ton like H&Rs and Sportlines do you are drastically changing not only the angle but also the length of the tie rods causing the car to toe in quite a bit. Steering rack spacers will cure the toe issue as well as bumpsteer. If that does not cure it it is the CV shafts binding because you said it did not vibrate at all with the stock springs on the car.

sparco wheel is myeen. Fricking hub costs me 200 to make internal splines are expensive to make and difficult...imagine trying to sell it here for 225 and listen to the whining - "hey I can use washers and Krazy glue for 20 cents for the same thing".
You have to go without air bags, but I disable them anyway for the track - I dont want to nerf a rail making a mistake and tear up my dash. And if I hit that hard I deserve to die anyway
