did you get shortened shocks for the rear? did you get an adjustable panhard bar? is your diff in good condition?

Handbrake shoes need adjusting by the sounds of it mate.

check your tires, maybe your wheels are rubbing against the guards

when u lower the car that much the diff moves to the side you need an adjustable panhard bar to bring the diff back to the center

2 bad knocks? like drifted into a gutter or sumtin?, you probably bent the left axle on the diff... IS IT lsd? If it is are you running different size wheels or different profile tyres? cos that not a good idea with lsd
