Wishbones and bushes, what's fitted rubber or polly?
Angle of wishbones, how low is the car?
Camber angle and most places only check the tracking?
Age and condition of tyres?
I don't like budget aftermarket coilovers so if you want a nice and comfortable to drive on normal uk roads and still feel sporty when pushed then you can't go wrong with this kit.

You will need to find some 2nd hand/recon front struts And some mounting fixings and I guess you have a tin top?
Any play in the steering rack mounts, tie rods?
As the cars been apart and you have only had it a couple of weeks it's worth checking all the important bits are bolted up right and correct…
Post up some pictures and more info if you can…

What kind of help are you after? Just more suggestions on things to check? What did they do in the alignment, garages don't usually do the alignment if something is obviously loose or wrong?

It could be something really simple but if you haven't found it…..and I am not going to type in 300 components in the hope I am lucky in identifying the one it is etc….

Good luck with the garage. Personally I think they should have found it at the alignment, sounds like they missed something - you align a car then it drives straight?
