PROBLEM with installing Coilovers
Just to update this thread, I already swapped out the coilovers and put back in the stock suspension, idk what it was but the car is moving fine now with the stock suspension. I suspect the CV joints were in a weird position causing them to jam or something. But I suppose this is all speculation now.
Wish I could hypothesize, but I really have no idea what you did on your install.
I might be wrong, but it sounds like you're relatively new to this? You could try asking someone local to help you out, or even get them professionally installed.

I'm new to installing coils on a fit, but I have done suspension many many times on other cars. I have asked around and someone is telling me that perhaps the axles seized when I adjusted the height but that's something I'm not sure of since when i put the stocks back in the car runs fine again.
Or even brake linesnot twisted or all over the place. If it was a cv axle and u force it to go it would vibrate a ton more with speed. If its brakes then u might might see smoke coming from rotors or pulsating while braking.
Like the others said it is hard diagnosing without seeing it and driving it. Maybe a shop or someone with a little more experience with this sort of thing. Also good luck with finding problem. I'll chime in every once in a while to see if u found anything.

Alright fellas, car would not roll even in neutral, car was not slammed, it had 1 1/2 finger gap all around. Axles were properly put in, I made sure of it. Brakes were not smoking at all since the car would move at a higher RPM. For example, car would not move in neutral but in DRIVE or REVERSE the car would move at 1.8k.
Edit: ONLY THE FRONTS WERE INSTALLED. I jacked up the rears to check if it was the brake lines but the rear wheels spun freely.
