it seems independent of the drivetrain as well because when I put the car in neutral and coast, it vibrates, but once i apply the brakes, vibration goes away.

any idea what is wrong? I plan to check the wheel lugs again, maybe I tightened them incorrectly.
Not familiar with 190 calipers vs a 420 but its obviously related to what you did. Am assuming the 420 are beefier?

Assuming you did everything correctly, maybe the hub/spindle of the 190 is not designed to take the beefiness/weight of the 420 calipers? Just guessing.

Do you know of someone else who did this? Is this why you tried it?
