If it helps I have just changed nearly everything on the front end including shocks,springs,top mounts , lower arms and bushes and hub etc , hydramount, lower engine mounting and I still have a vibration between 1800 and 2000 rpm.
It's a lot better than it was and the 2 things I haven't changed yet are the gearbox mount and the drivers side drive shaft which has a knackered bearing in the middle.
I'm hoping the the play in the bearing is causing the vibes due to rotational mass and all that.
The exhaust has been removed and refitted when I dropped the subframe.
Easy to check the bearing, just tug on your shaft and it will knock if worn.
