Make sure:

1. That everything is tightened up. IE: Top Nut, preload the springs, etc.

2. Make sure that the height of each strut (front/rear) are the same and tightened up.

3. Purchase rear camber bolts prior to changing out the rear struts. The front has camber adjustments but the rear does not unless you get either rear camber plates for your coilovers or get the camber bolts (camber bolts are much cheaper)~$29.95 vs. $149+

4. Drive it around for about a week to get everything settled and adjusted to your liking.

5. Take it in for a quality alignment by a pro.
