Don't over look the 'tires'. My coupe had a vibration around 40-50mph. The cause was 3 out of 4 tires out-of-round! And they were Michelins.

Using a "Hunter" tire-balancing system, the 3 bad tires were found and after replacing them w/ new Michelins balanced using their road-force system, the "shakes" were gone!
