Front-end vibration?

[ats at longcoeur.com (ATS - Patrick Bureau)]

I have that same issue..

So far I have replaced the shocks and springs, poly a-arm bushings 

I believe my problem (and perhaps yours as well) is the inner tie rod that
is "loose" check that (lift car on one side, pinch the boot at the join of
the bar and the bulb(nearest rack) and wiggle the wheel to see if you can
feel the rod (eh dude! he said rod, hehe hehe hehehe) moving, its supposed
to be tight.

I am changing mine as soon as they deliver the second one I ordered.

Took the convertible out for a little run last night and I noticed
a very pronounced vibration over 70mph, up to about 85. (I didn't go over
85).

It seems like there is some small vibration around 60-65, and it gets bad at
70-75.

And YES, I DID take the car that fast.  Bite me ;)

I just replaced the suspension with an H&R coilover kit, and had the car
re-aligned.

I'm thinking it's something still with the alignment, or a tire balance
issue. 
Thing is, I had the tires balanced last year.  

So before I have it checked for things I can't check (alignment/tires), any
suggestions of things I CAN check?  And how?

TIA.
