Default 1997 couple vibration on acceleration

Hello, I picked up a '97 EX coupe today and it has a couple problems that I'm trying to sort out. The main one I'm worried about is a vibration upon acceleration. As soon I take of it starts to vibrate, until it gets to a point where it is cruising and isn't really being pulled anymore. If at any time I take my foot of the gas the vibration stops immediately. It doesn't matter what speed I'm going, I still get the vibration. It's only in the steering wheel and is a pretty good vibration. It doesn't seem to make any noise or pull when it's happening. The car has been lowered on coilovers and is "stupid low". I plan to raise it back up, but I don't see how this problem could be coming from the ride height, seeing as how the CV axles would be straighter with the car lowered, and would therefore be in less of a bind than in the stock configuration. Although, I may be looking at this completely wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated and if any more information is needed just let me know. Thanks in advance, Ian.

I would guess you have a bad CV joint. Worth it to have them checked.
