Need help!! handling like a horrible go kart!!
Have you ever been on a bus that goes over bumps, and all the windows shake and it just makes loud booms going over bumps?
That's what my iroc is doing. I tried to get a little sideways leaving an area, I put it in first and floored it turning and it made all kinds of horrible noises. Just bumping and hitting and just awful. and whenever I hit a bump it just feels so stiff and awful
NOTE: It's felt like this since I've got the car. It didn't feel like that trying to do donuts with the stock rear tho...
Car info
88 Iroc
c5 corvette rims 17x9 and 18x9.5 I believe they are.. correct me if I'm wrong. They are GM Stamped c5 Wheels that are staggered.. not sure the width. Rear has 275/40/18 tire.. They don't rub in front, I can't tell if they rub in the rear. I don't have a spacer in the rear, but I have 2 inch ones in the front.
4th Gen v6 3.08 rear end (was told it was a 6 speed rear.. was lied too I guess. Diff reads 13 40) It's got some decently sized disc brakes.. not sure if lt1 rear or v6. I mainly wanted the brakes
Polyurethane sway bar bushings
UMI Adjustable panhard bar.
Some used Eibach 1.2 inch lowering springs & some shocks from the same car... the shocks are kind of worn but are in way better condition compared to the stock ones that were on the car..
Any help is appreciated, I'm not sure what wheel hop feels like and if thats what I felt, but all in all it rides smooth until any bump is hit and it just feels like a worn out go kart or something.
Thanks!

SFCs, new GOOD QUALITY shocks (not just the cheeeeeeeepest thing you can find that somebody didn't get thrown in jail for fraud when they printed "shocks" on the box), LCARBs, a "wonder bar" in case yours is missing

Before replacing any components I would recommend checking "everything" currently on the car. Sounds possible that something is broke or loose.
