Let me first start off with telling you the story. About 2 weeks ago I put on some 18" Enkei RS6's with Z Rated Falken tires. I didnt have a drop at the time and for about a week they rode perfectly without vibration at all. Then my valve stem off my front left rim started leaking, so I took it to Discount Tire to get it replaced. It seems like ever since I got the rim put back on and had all my tires balanced, my car has been pulling to the left. At the time, I had this weird knocking noise that was coming from underneath the front right passeger area. It turns out that my front right strut was going bad, so I went ahead and ordered some Kyb Agx adjustables to go along with my maxspeed springs that have been sitting in my closet. So I got the KYB's and the Maxspeed springs thinking that it would knock out two birds with one stone after I got my alignment done. So I went to get an alignment done at a nearby Allied, and they said something like there was no alignment that could be done to the rear right. They got it as close to factory spec as they could, but when I drove off the lot, it still pulled to the left and vibrated when I went over 60. I took it back to Allied, and they said that it had to be a radial pull that was causing this pulling to the left. I took my car back to Discount to see about getting the tire replaced if it infact was a radial pull, but all the tires checked out fine and they said it had to be something up front. So once again I took it to Allied to get it checked, and they said the only thing to do was to rotate my tires. So they rotated them and it is still vibrating. HELP!!! Has anyone ever had anything like this happen to them before? Any suggestions would be great. Also, I have my rear shocks on 6, but I don't know what the front are set at. If my computer alignment printout would provide more info, I can scan it. Please let me know. Any and all help will be appreciated.

Hey, this sounds like what is happening to my car right now, sans the vibrations....I'll tell you the full story after it finishes playing out! Its in the shop now getting some bodywork done, but I have an alignment problem that I am having a hard time fixing.

hard time with alignment here as well.
Also just changed tires and got alignment.
They couldn't get the thing to the exact spec, because some things aren't adjustable. I think it's those damned speed bumps that are killing my suspension.
No vibration with old tires. Slight vibration with new.
