High Speed (80mph+) vibration?

What would cause high speed vibration. As I mentioned in the other post I have the suspension mods of RB Springs + Sway bars plus tokiko shocks. When I installed them could I have done something or not done something (like alignment) to cause this? The vibration gets REALLY bad to the point that im afraid when I get near 120 mph.

get your wheels balanced. had a similar problem ,right around 80. not so bad i was afraid, but annoying. anyway, my tires were pretty worn, and 3 of the 4 were way outta whack. that was 3 weeks ago. then i said, f___ that, and got new tires.

anyway, it was $40 for all 4 wheels to be balanced.

Sounds good I'll try to get this done asap. Anyone else got any input? Any other probable cause?

car alignment, tyre pressure, tyre balancing, check distance from floor to top of wheel wells is even on all 4 corners, check shocks...

I got new tires & my 90mph vibration went away. Around 100 it was to the point where I was afraid the rear view mirror was going to depart from the car. New tires, smooth well up past that point.
