Steering wheel vibration?

Notice the factory alignment has front left camber -1 and front right -0.5. Mine had this too. They do this to adjust for road crowning which is opposite in chicago as it is in europe. Would make my car pull left. I changed it to -1 on both wheels and its dead nuts straight. Cyberbug, have you noticed the steering wheel needing to be a little to the right to go straingth on a perfectly flat road.

Took it for a short drive on a freshly paved road for a test and baseline.
Then put the rear 5mm maxspeed spacers back on and did the same test drive.
No issues all good.
Next week or so I'll test the fronts again if there is vibration my tech said he will try to balance the fronts with spacers
I'll talk to ECS as well.

Wife suddenly had an urge to go for a drive in the evening, even though I had just wiped the car down.
went on a road I had not tested after the above, visually the road seemed smooth but the vibration was back visually and I could feel it, we are talking about 55-60mph. I was like WTF...
any ways drove 30miles, and in after that patch there was no vibration.
no front front spacers just rears and freshly balance checked and aligned.
so I am convinced that nothing is wrong its just road feedback and road may have ripples which are not visible at speed and low light.
will continue to test though.

I noticed the same thing the other day when I was in the car, which I probably would not have if I had not read this thread...it had to be the road and I have no plans to pursue it.
