Default my crx shaking, evenmore when on high speed

need some info
i just swap da front and rear disc brakes into my 88hf last saturday
breaking is way better now
i know i'll need an alignment for both front and rear (will do this weekend)
my question is, when i test drive the car its kinda shaking evenmore when in freeway or high speed
is it because of the alignment off or something else?
does an off alignment would make your car shaking when drive?
i double checked all the nuts and bolts to make sure i tight them all.
but im not that technical i might have been missed other things i need to do.
lmk guys...

Thanks in advace !

Yes, wheels out of alignment will make the car shake, worse at high speeds.

If it still shakes after this, have your rotors resurfaced. It's possible that they are warped enough to feel a vibration from them (I've had it happen to me).

Make sure that you have tightened the lug nuts properly, both immediately when putting the tires back on, and also about 30 miles later. Use a torque wrench if need be. I've seen vibration due to improper tightening before - basically one or more wheels are not on straight - get a vibration, gets worse at higher speeds.

over tightingin the lug nut can and will warp the rotors and will give you a shimmy in the steering wheel and/or ***
