speed wobbles

ok so ive been having bad speed wobbles ever since i lifted my car to stock height. im running tein basic coilovers, perches are almost to the top(3-4 threads below). anyway, ever since i raised it, the car has bad speed wobbles at almost EXACTLY 45 mph. as soon as i hit 45 my steering wheel shakes lyk crazy. then wen i hit 50-55 it stops. then wen i decelerate it shakes super bad from around 50mph down to 40 mph. me and a frend just aligned the wheels today and when we test drove it it still shaked, but just a little less rough. my frend then suggested that i should have the wheels balanced(fn01rc) cuz he thinks whoever balanced them did a shetty job. wat u guys think could be the problem?

I have that problem right now and i have the same rims as you. apparently it takes a few times for the tire place to balance my wheels right. get them balanced again and the problem should go away.

yeah that's what I would say... My car would shake at 25mph and 35mph... I got my front tires balanced and an alignment... all better now.
