I would suggest trying a stiffer rear bar like the Perrin 16mm adjustable. Not a ton stiffer, but will really make a difference if you having trouble balancing the car.

They are for the toe arms.
If you want spherical in the trailing arms, go with Cusco or the STI arms. Personally I’d just pair them with a quality poly bushing at the hub.

Definitely sounds like a toe problem. You’re alignment guy will tell you right away. Does it behave oddly under braking vs accelerating?
