Default Awd l0wered vibrations

I have a awd and recently took off the 22's and put 20's an lowered it more and now i have vibrations when driving. Also i put staggsrd wheels on. My question is are the vibrations coming from the staggard wheels or from being so low since the car is awd? Here is a pic on how low i have it now

there are tons of posts on this subject due to the widespread issues with lowering AWD
one of the best recent threads even polled members on the issues and remedies.
I'd like to lower w/F Sport springs but these issues make me question it...
good luck!

lowering an AWD causes that. Many topics on it like stated above. Plain and simply sucks. Then again, why lower an AWD if your going through snow is what most people would say. I had an AWD lowered and it had vibrations that drove us nuts.
