I agree with Capt Pete I would check and see if there is excesive wheel bearing movement because, if you got some extra play in them they will want to move around alot especially of crappy roads. Also take it to a different alignemt shop and tell them you want to add abot 2 degrees of possitve caster. That will give the wheels a different rake on the road. Another words it will lay the wheels back further kinda like a motorcycle the more the forks are angled out the more laid back the position of the wheel is the straighter it sits the more ridgid it is. Between the two it should help a lot. Good luck with that man you might also adding another notch to both sets of shocks make them just a little stiffer to make up for the stiffer springs.

Is your toe set to zero..?

If so, then the car will feel squirrely at speed and weave in the lane...

May be compounded by worn bearings, bushings, ball joints, tie rod joints.
