Before you do anything else, check the rear tire pressures. What tires are they? If they're significantly less grippy than the stock tires it's entirely possible it's just the amount of rear camber you're running is too much for the crappier tires.

You can get the alignment checked, but first get the pressure in check. I'll bet they're over 40psi cold after being mounted.

New rear tires. Car floats all over the highway

When ur tire blow out it probably fuked up your BC coils or it was bad to begin with. Don't get cheap stuff for suspension.

BC's aren't really "cheap". They're not high end, but they wouldn't just fall apart from a tire blowing out. I have personal experience in this. Also, the OP said that the tire didn't exactly blow out on him.

It sounds like the tire pressure might be too high...just a guess though.

Different tires have different profiles, different amounts of grip. A brand new tire is usually a little slippery for a while too. tread height also plays a factor. having different tires with different tread could cause a perfectly aligned car to pull one way or another. i wouldnt worry about it. Break those tires in, and you wont feel the floatiness anymore.
