Intalled ground controls/konis and something is not right
thought i would tackle this suspension job myself to save $$$ and just something to do. i have an 04 accord coupe V6. i have installed the front Ground Control coilovers with koni shocks. went for a test drive and was goin fine for a while but now my car vibrates at any speed over 30ish. there also appears to be a noise but the odd thing is it seems to be coming from the rear, whch i had't touched yet. the best way i can describe it is as if some kind of object got stuck in between the tread on the tires. i checked but saw nothing. i don't intend to do anymore until tomorrow so i can't really check it any further. wanna resolve this before i get to the rear suspension. not enough light any thoughts?
it's my first suspension install. i read up as much as i could online tring to find all the info i could before i go do something i hadn't tried before. i wouldn't knock out the chance i made a mistake. any suggestions, hints or other help is greatly appreciated

go back thru it and make sure you torque'd everything down... i mean not to doubt your work but i mean just start with the basics and move on from there

Definitely check this. I think I've forgotten to torque down my lugs about three times now

Only took me once, seems to be one of those things I never tend to forget
