Did you check your steering rack at all? If it's loose it could be the cause.

I've had a slight vibration from 55-65mph for a while now. The other day I hit a pothole and blew a tire. Then I started hearing a knocking sound whenever I brake, and no it def had nothing to do with the brakes. I take the car to a mechanic and he points out that a few of my bushings are completely shot, especially the lca bushing. I just changed my 20" wheels for my stock 17's and been driving for about a week now. ALL VIBRATION IS GONE. and that is with shot bushings, also car rides super smooth, haha. I will be trying the daizens as I have another set of 20's on the way.
But I have to say, it was the wheels causing the vibration. Even with bad bushings car is smooth as silk.

Are you 100% sure they did lug centric balance? Are you using proper lugs?
I've suffered from the shakes in the past and they were all related to wheels only. With properly balanced wheels I was driving with no shakes even when my caster arms bushings were shot to the point where they were being held together by a miracle and my upper ball joints had tons of play.
