Default allignment question

so i just had my allignment done yesterday and on my way home i could tell that my car seems a little more shakey and when trying to drive straight my steering wheel is cocked a little to the left and not straight...also before i got this done when i would let go of the wheel it would drive straight now it pulls to the right or the left when i let go of the wheel (not at high speeds) i just put on my coilovers and new rims and tires before i got the allignment done so my question is is there something wrong??

if it pulls to the right and the left, your car is probably following the crown or the grooves in the road. wider and lower profile tires and more negative camber make the car more sensitive to that stuff. check your aligment numbers to make sure they are symmetrical.

Are you sure the height adjustment is correct on all of you coilovers? Did you get it corner wieghted? If you haven't - you need to.

the car is put on 4 scales and the ride heights on the coilovers are adjusted until you have the car balanced to how you want it.
