Default Vibration still at rear after cup swap

Hi all, I read up into posts about vibration coming from the rear and seen it was due to pitted cv cups. I swapped these at the weekend but the vibration is still there. It's only when I'm accelerating in the car the vibration happens, as soon as I let off it stops. I lowered my car a little more at the weekend and I'm not sure if it's just me thinking it but it seems worse. I've read into driveshaft spacers as a possible next step. Could anyone tell me if that would be the next best step. Thanks

If it was vibrating at acceleration and you swap the cv cups then it should only vibrate at deceleration. I used driveshaft spacers to get rid of that last bit of vibration.

If it doesnt move from acc to dec when you swap then your vibrations are coming from something else than pitted cv cups.

Verify tire pressure (most common) and then check tire balance (thrown wheel weight).
How long was the car lowered without spacers and by how much was it lowered? You should always use spacers when lowered IMHO.
