How come after all this it seems like it is the springs?
Do you have them on the front as well? If I were you I'd look at the load rating on the tyres as well - you might have a combination of things contributing towards an over all effect

Army, until yesterday I had not realized that I had shorter springs, I was convinced that I had bought standard, but... I was wrong.
I have been in touch with this issue with Bob Henchoz from Amazon Cars in the UK, and his view, which I trust is “ Definitely go standard, lowering the PV is only really good for track/circuit use: the front springs are just too short in standard form to accept any shorter!” So today I order a set of front and rear coil spring STANDARD |

But in the bigger scheme of things going wrong, even though it is an irritation, greater problems could 'ave 'appened. Here's hoping you'll be happy with the new springs after your next wheel alignment. I must say that when watching your great video the ride height did not seem particularly low to me - oh well - we all learn.
