Annoying sound
Hey guys, I have a lil issue with my TSX. Within the last two weeks I have a somewhat grinding noise coming from the rear of the car, near the wheels and tires. It sounds like metal to metal grind and it would switch from the left to the right when I am driving. It comes and goes, like when I was on the freeway the noise was on the left side. The noise lasted for about 5 minutes and went away. After a while, it came back. It seems to come and go depending on the road condition (if its flat, bumpy etc). When I got home, I checked the bottom of the car and found nothing wrong. It went away for a couple of days and now the noise seems to be coming from the front (same sound). Last night, I was driving home to recheck the noise and it was gone when the car was going straight, but when I turned the wheel to the right the noise came back. I don't know what to make of it. It seems weird that it would switch from the rear of the car to the front of the car. I recently upgraded with the A-Spec suspension, EBC front rotors with pads, RJ 18s with Toyo Tires and Progressive Rear Sway bar. Under visual inspection, I see nothing wrong. I've had the mods for about about 2 - 3 months now and the noise just recently appeared. Any input would be appreciated?!
Thanks
Thanks

make sure everything's torqued to spec. check endlinks on the suspension parts.
bed in the rotors and pads?? check shims on the brakes? check brake shield is not contacting with the rotors?? just off my head.

Yeah I did. I probably bed and broke them in too. The brakes barely make a sound when I am breaking
