I'll go talk to the wheel place see if they can verify the balance again.
Lugs torqued to 95 ft/lb's ? Factory torque is 80 ft/lbs FYI

Good point. When you re-mount the wheels after the proper hub rings are installed, torgue the lug nuts to the proper spec (80-85 ft/lbs) ... and tighten them down in a cross-pattern sequence to ensure proper fitment.

Please get an alignment as well asap. Few bucks spent now will save you lots of money on tires later on.

I just was working with the same problem corner bounsing and my fix was more camber and extending front end links about 1/8" to harden front sway bar with preload. For now with hochkins sway on the back with softest setting feels much better then before next weekend will be testing with stock rear sway.

I'm experiencing the same symptoms (especially bad in the rain last night) but my change to the car was installing eibach lowering springs (2 days ago). Reading through the thread it sounds like I'm due for an alignment.

Hey zefaulter, where are you getting your alignment done?

I can't believe why you guys are driving around without a proper alignment. Do you hate your tires and want faster tyre wear and worse handling?
Alignment is cheaper than new tyres every 5k miles.

Just an update, the problem is my rear sway bar links. Ordered SPL replacement, I'll update the thread one I install those. Alignment is not the problem

You say alignment was good?
ck.what it was before you added the lowering parts/as you lower;it gives you more negative camber,
I don't have any lowering springs-but on alignment movement's;;;when you adjust the camber negative(top of tire lean inward)it will also move the rear toe negative(front of tire will point outwards)
Rear must have some Positive Toe or the Azz end will be dancing around;especially at higher speeds & hard acceleration or deceleration.
For a quick check before taking it in;measure the width on the front side & backside of rear tires (on a common tread groove)
Good to have a helper & be sure to stretch an even pull/as high as possible(3 or 4" from ground) without contacting underside of car.
wouldn't hurt to ck. the front also ;;;But Remember;the rear Toe Spec.call's for about twice the positive toe as the front.
On a level surface,you should have 1/8---1/4" closer gap on Front side of rear wheels.
Fuel level will affect this measurement.
Actual specs. for total Toe on rear are (min 0.079" Nominal 0.146" max 0.213")
I got mine set on the higher end w/stock ride height,,,car behave's well.
The rear camber & toe are adjustable on Stock ~Z~ w/the Factory eccentric bolt's.
