id say probably one or both engine mount might need to be replaced, if they are stock probably too mushy compared to the stage 2 and just eating the vibes. im currently trying to cure vibes now in second gear. waiting for my lnf rear mount. also iv you are on coilovers super low you might run into axle bind. try raising it a little and see if you feel a difference.

i didnt losen up the motor mounts when i installed the trans mounts but i had the coils low and raised it a bit and i dont think it is axle bind because i would get it at low speeds and it rides smooth below 55

hummm. i was reading on this subject for the longest time, they say if you feel under accel, its the axles, if you feel it un a certain rpm range its the moutns, if you feel like at high speed its wheel balance.. id still check to see if your motor mount moved when you unscrewed the scews.

could be an out of round tire maybe?

i believe it would be the tires. for one the people that mounted the tires to the rims and balance were new and probably didnt know much. Plus if i let off the gas and change gears to say like 5th it goes away until i engage the clutch again;

im waiting to replace my rear trans mount on monday ill let you know if mine was fixed.

for your problem, on the passenger side the axle is longer and it has a bearing to support it did you take a look at that bearing? mine was completly out of the bracket.
