Horrible ride quality and can't figure out why

I honestly am very glad you understand what I mean and are saying this because I really can't understand how anyone would think this ride quality is acceptable, let alone expected to be performant.

I just watched a video on the spc toe bolt elongation and it doesn't look too bad, but I still rather avoid cutting the subframe if I can. Is there really no other way to get my alignment in spec without using the spring bucket arm to adjust the toe? I know they make adjustable traction arms but what exactly does that adjust and why can't I use those instead?

I do still have the true rear bc kit that I swapped out for the oem style, and if I put that back on, I would just need to replace spring buckets with adjustable toe arms, but **** man, there's gotta be an easier way to do this. Z's are known for there great handling and here I am literally hating the way it handles
