problem after alignment
so a friend of mines just lower her G on tein basic coilovers, she drove it for 2 weeks to let the coils settle and was very happy with the ride....ive drove it and it was pretty smooth compare to my swift springs
after the 2 weeks she installed SPC F/R camber kit and took it to get align now she cant stand the ride, the steering will jerk left and right on bumps, and the ride is bouncier then before the alignment...
what can the problem be?? ive search but couldnt get any info please help TIA

Sounds like they messed up the Caster angle. Caster affects the wheels inclination to roll straight. Too much caster and the car is hard to turn, but very stable. Too little caster and the car turns too easily and can be hard to keep straight. The car will feel nervous and jumpy. Like you mentioned, you can also get a lot of feed back thru the steering. I would have the alignment redone some place else. Make sure everything is within spec when they are done too. A decent shop will give you a sheet with your specs on it after the alignment and may even go over it with you. If you have a sheet from this past alignment post it up. Seeing the numbers would be helpful to answer your question.
