Stillen Rotors Installed...question

Hey I had my Stillen Cross Drilled Rotors installed along with the metal matrix pads and also SS lines. Now before i had major vibration from high speed stops under braking. Now that is gone but i am faced with something different maybe someone here can help me with. When I'm going between 60-90 the steering wheel vibrates a bit this isnt under braking just accelerating. Do you think this could be the tires? I torqued the wheels and everything. I dunno...

It's definitely a balance issue. Start with the wheels.

Check if your wheels and tires are balanced properly, and if that checks out then i will have to believe you are in need of a wheel alighment. Usually when there is vibration when cruising at highway speeds its either one of the two.

i know don't go past 59mph and you'll be good. Just kidding did you have this vibration before you replaced you old brake set? Did you swap wheels like put the left on the right? What did you torque down the wheels to?

Heh..yea rite lol. Anyway yea come to think about it I did have my rear tires put to the front and didn't have them balanced. So that is probably what it is...I'll post back up when I have them balanced and I'll tell you guys what the deal is. Thanks for your replies!
