Check the axle. Common problem on lowered cars.

Could also be your upper control arm and ball joints.

I have the same problem. I am going to replace the wheel bearings first, if that doesnt fix it, im gonna replace the ball joints up front.

you should have some type of noise coming from the ball joint over bumps if it were bad enough to cause vibrations of some sort. My guess would still be rim/tire balance related even though its new tires or a axle.

Did the vibration happen right immediately after the drop?
Did you put new tires on because of the vibration or were they already on?
Have you tried rotating the rear tires to the front to see if it makes it go away?
