the problems ur having wit the suspension. why dont u remove the coilovers, take the spring off and start from scratch, double chek everything and make sure its all tight. maybe u left something off when u put the new top mounts on ? :S
and the hose and plugs u removed, chek theyres no splits or anything. if u cant see anything then go 2 a garage and ask for a diagnotsic check. Usually costs about £25.

looks very nice, much prefer the brakes in red to yellow, will match all the other red bits, although i would have done the drums black
and i have to say i prefer the wheels with the stickers as you say they are very bland without them
oh and iirc the green plug is the Mass Air Flow Sensor
