I'm guessing you already got this resolved. In any case.

Did you adjust the height of the springs at all? The grinding noise sounds like it could be coming from the springs like rusty said, but most likely because there is very little pre-load on the spring. This with addition to the fact you could possibly have the dampers adjusted to tight (stiff setting). If the damper in the rear was not re-torqued properly either after a quick drive, its possible they are loose and shifting around on the bolts.

For future readers with similar issues ^^^^
