1. swap out your dropzone springs to tein s-tech or sprint springs, cuz dropzone springs sag in the rear and it sux.
2. if you are running tokico HP shocks, switch it out to either KYB AGX or tokico illuminas shocks, cuz tokico HP shocks will not handle anything lower than 1.5" drop...eventually the HP shocks will blow out.
3. check your tire pressure. i suggest running 33psi for 18" tires.
4. balance your tires

If you keep going back to the same shop and not getting your problems fixed, it seems like you need to find another shop.

Get a printout of the alignment setting they used and compare them to the factory specs in the FAQ.
