Need some help with my new front suspension

Okay so I have about 140k on my 05 cmt and I have been having a rough ride so I went ahead and got all four tokico shocks/struts(g35 model not 350z) I have eibach pro kit springs, and I replaced all the bushings in the front, radius arm, struts, control arms all of them. I removed my aftermarket upper camber/control arms and replaced with factory ones because the after market ones ball joint was completely shot.

And now my ride is worse than ever. I have 19's all around with 245/45 in rear and 245/35 in front.

The crappy ride is only from the front. And it's pretty bad. Not what I expected after spending money like that on all brand new performance parts.

If anyone has any ideas or suggestions of why or how to fix this I would greatly appreciate it.

Maybe your tires have stiff sidewalls. What brand/model tires?

Did you put the Eibachs on after the suspension redo, or were they already on the car? What bushings did you use? Which tokicos did you get, and if it's the adjustables, what setting are they on? Did you get it aligned?

No I had the eibachs prior to this, just transferred them over to the new tokico hp's non adjustable. The bushings are energy suspension. And I haven't gotten an alignment yet.

I feel like its probably a combo of things, in need of ball joints(mainly compression rod) my tires and possible the upper spring boot that goes at the top of the strut between the spring and mount. I don't have those. I haven't had any time to really examine or start trying to fix this issue yet but hopefully this weekend I'll be able to solve it.
