Default suspension problems!

HELP! i got my coilovers put on 2 days ago and now when i am driving 45mpg or greater when i accelerate the car pulls hard left and when i push the clutch in it pulls hard right. i don't know what the problem is. all my tires are at 32psi and my alignment is good. it is being rechecked today. it almost feels like my rear brakes are locked up, it takes an excessive amount of force to spin both of my rear wheels. has anyone had this problem? and i am not hellaflush or anything, front is lowered about 1 1/4in and rear about 1/2in.

Not saying that this is definitely what the problem is, but did you get an alignment after you put the suspension on?

yea i got an alignment the morning after and it is on the rack again being rechecked. stupid question, but how easily should the rear wheels turn? i have to put some force behind them to get them to spin. i think the brakes are locked up to be honest. my GTO the rear wheels would spin freely.

well just got the car back from the alignment shop and that was the problem. somehow all the suspension geometry got knocked out of whack. i blame the crappy Oklahoma roads.
