I got the camber back to specs but didnt have time to install the new toe bolts and and adjust the rear toe angle before we had to close the shop,do you think the rear toe being out could give this effect?

i dont have either of those problems... feels hella planted 100% of the time... but I will say that reducing your spring softness and travel could cause you to lose contact with the road if you're moving fast enough... I doubt it. more likely to be a tire pressure issue than that, but it IS a possibility

Depending on how off your toe is, yes, misaligned rear toe can give the unstable feeling over bumps. Actually, I know exactly the unstable feeling you are talking about. I felt it before I got my rear toe back in spec (it was way off though...more than half a degree! don't ask why haha) Talk about major tire feathering!!

My car was ALL over the road no my way to your shop killerdiller, which I think was caused by the toe. My car feels solid an planted, all the time. Add the bolts and I bet it will cure the problem bro....
