Horrible ride quality and can't figure out why

Alignment shops have no clue about them. People replace the traction arms because they want to get rid of the rubber bushings.
yea I had a feeling that was the case, thanks for confirming.

I feel lost at this point. I either dump close to another grand on control arms, proper spc toe bolt installation, and alignment, hoping the end result is what I've been spending months trying to figure out, or going back to stock ride height and struts.

I'm still super surprised that every single lowered z has this issue and either doesn't know about it or spends thousands on tuning it properly. There's gotta be a way around it. I'm about to go raise it until the camber is at least in range but with my luck I'll be back at stock ride height
