Default Need help guys

Hey. SO I just got brand new RE-11rs in the rear and I noticed that when I go WOT and am around 100mph, the car floats very badly, swerves, and feels very very unsafe. I am making around 400 FT/lbs of Torque, but have not noticed this before. My alignment is probably due for a new one. I am on stock Shocks (110,000 miles) and Espelir springs. I did notice that there are no weights on the rear rims, as it looks like the shop did not balance the wheels, but I don't know if thats the issue?

Anyway what should I do to try and correct this? I don't really want to spend the $800 for Koni Yellows and new springs, as I don't corner much (not easy with high HP), however if it's the only option so be it, the car rides like shit and is plain scary at 100mph

When was your last alignment? That very well could be your issue. I don't think it's your shocks because you just changed your tires and now it's doing that. If there wheels where not balanced then you would have an un godly terrible vibration. The weights are either stickied inside the wheel or on the inside lip of the car also

I couldnt find the weights anywhere. There is no vibration, last time I had the car aligned was like 2.5 or may 2 years ago?
