Bottom line, it should not wander like that. This car, stock, should feel very planted, especially since it pulls nearly a full g in cornering tests. I would start looking at bushings that keep alignments of the suspension true and connected to the car. If subframe bushings are whacked could it cause slight misalignment of the entire rear with the front? Just a thought. Course, bouncing like a basket ball sounds like shocks. Heck, at 2009, could be both.
I drove it hard when I first got it and it handles the same today as it did back then but I wasn't on a highway and the issues are more obvious at higher speeds. The bouncing is pretty normal for the stock Z shocks from what ive read.

Anyways, your right off topic. Thanks for the help!
