I have Tein S-Techs and they ride very similar to stock springs. My car never tosses back and forth when I hit bumps or anything like that.

a bad alignment can cause a lot of problems. dont be too quick to rule out your alignment. i say get one done to be sure

I'll say again, did u cut your bump stops like your supposed to when u put the springs on?

If the symtpom your experiencing is bump steer (hitting a bump and the steering wheel jerks to one side) it could very well be your tie rods. If you got your alignment done and that is the problem to the shop.. jack your car up and put the stand on the control arm so it is preloaded..(straight) try to move your inner/outer tie rods with your hand. If they have play in them, replace as necessary. This usually happens when you drop, now the suspension is at a different angle so you feel it more.
