Default Traction problem..

my z isn't stable. last night when i opened up my gears 1-3 up to 4-5K rpm's going up to 60-65 mph.. my car was fish-tailing and i can feel my front tires losing traction because my steering wheel felt loose; and at one point my "slip-off" light turned on. i just lowered the car last night.. do i need an alignment? i'm running on stock wheels.. possible wheel balance? any help would be great. thanks in advance.

Alignment.. Not a bad idea to have it done again in a month or two after the springs have settled.

You mean alignment should be done after the springs have been settled?

Yes, a 4 wheel alignment is recommended after the springs settle.

My alignment and traction seemed a little bit off traction and fish-tailing here and there, but got worse with the springs. Hopefully, the alignment will do the trick.
