Default Ride height, CB, alignment

86 Carrera coupe. Replaced a lot of parts. bearings strut cart, shocks, Had ride height done then alignment. Everything seemed Ok for a little over a week but now I notice the drivers side rear sagging back down to the point where I can barely get my fingers between the tire and finder lip. When adj was done I had easily 1.75" clearance betwen the tire and fender lip. Now the car after sagging back there again is starting to pull just a little to the right even when stradling the crown in the road. I live in western Massachusetts, can anyone suggest a shop that can do all of the work satisfactory without breaking the bank. BTW paid $435. total for ride height and alignment, no corner balance though.

Final ride height is set by corner balancing.
I doubt they let the car settle after adjusting.
Did they claim to know what they were doing?
Did they re-index the rear bars?

Do the torsion bars have to come out to reindex? If so they did not do that as they would have had to remove rocker panel to tak e them out and I know they did not do that. They did adjust the concentric and it did look great for about 2 weeks before it sunk back down to where it is.
