Check to see if the steering rack is insecure or the bolt are loose

Check the top suspension mounts.
Also, check your brake pedal for play.

What’s the issue with brake pedal play?

It rattles and feels like you have a problem with the suspension.

That’s strange, I get that rattle/vibration on the driver side however I’m sure it feels like it’s the acccelerator that rattles?

Grab your brake pedal and give it a tug, think you'll find there's a little play in it

Did you replace your top mounts when you changed the coilovers?
