^This is the more likely than not the answer to your issues. Mine rumbles like a SOB on any road that is uneven, and if I don't give the wheel any resistance the car follows the pattern of the road.
I'm sure your car is fine. I wouldn't think to much about it or you will drive yourself crazy. Especially considering amount of future rattles you will come to find with our tin cans

Check your rotors, or possibly a bent tie rod or arm or worn bushings, presuming the car has been aligned a few times. Above about 90 or so, wheel balancing no longer plays a significant factor. We don't even balance the race wheels.
A rotor pad interface can feel a little vibration when they have cooled down too fast. With race pads this is usually solved by burning off the accumulated crud by hard braking at high speed. Presuming it isn't that, try swapping your rotors with some new ones (it is good to have a back up set anyway) and see if that does the trick. The wear might be a little uneven. If not, look at your arms and bushings.
Let me know, I have some spare Girodisc rotors if you want to borrow a set.

it is a very small vibration only at that speed. i'm sure i may come across what the cause it at some point. i recall it happening since day one.
i ran ichiba 20mm spacers on my last evo x and it was fine, jist gotta torque everything down to specs. the vibration all went away after i go an alignment and then a wheel balancing a week after, but it was the wheel balancing that fully healed it, thats y i had the two done seperately
