Issues with ride after suspension mods
AJP:
It could be that at 100k you've got quite a few things starting to wear - bushes etc, and even the best alignment machines won't get you into correct geometry tolerance if things are really worn.
The anti lift kit will only really do its job if everything else is working as intended.
Probably a ramp job - get a good mechanic to check front and rear bushes, and also track rods, ball joints etc.

^ Exactly, if you upgrade your springs to a stiffer one, then all the previous worn out parts will feel even more loose/wobbly/clonky.

Thanks guys, I think i will have to look into getting the bushes and tracking rods looked at.
Any recommendations for what type of bushes I could get?
Bit of a noob, when it comes to fill out modding and tinkering!

Just get standard replacements, there's no real reason to get poly bushes unless you do a lot of track days.
Also front strut top mounts, arb links etc. There's a lot going on at the front end.
Hevoshullu:
Usually the part that is most worn out and loose is the front control arm inner rear bushing. It's definitely worth doing if it hasn't been replaced previously. Any car with 50k+ mileage on it will have more or less wear in that.
