great... my car feels like a boat... MCNASTY status!

when i drive straight on a smooth road my car is ok... but once i hit a bump my car sways like a friggen boat!

everything is bolted up correctly as far as suspension goes.
my sway bar and tie rods, end links are good...

the problem started when I changed my spring load one day and it started.
so i swapped out my old set of Standard coilovers for the newer one but still using my old hats... but yet still no bueno.


i cant figure it out. anyone here have or had the same problem?

please chime in. thanks.
