Help me with rough ride

I have neuspeed lowering springs on my car with stock struts and when i would drive down the road sometimes i would hit bumps and the back end of the car would feel like it jumps out from under you and to the right???? i dont know whats up i think it might just be allignment because my camber is off then i put on my camber kit last night and adjusted it good enough to the eye just untill i get it to an allignment shop and i took it for a ride and it seems to do it more??? HAS ANYONE ELSE HAD THIS PROBLEM???? please help me figure it out im getting new tires at the end of the week then next week ill get my alignment fixed but does anyone know what the prblm could be hopefully its just the alignment

yeah because you are riding on weak stock shocks. Read the suspension FAQ and you will see it is always a good idea to upgrade your shocks when you lower.

yea im messing around with it, it brought in the camber a little and took it for a test ride today, a little better, im gonna experiment with the toe when the weather warms up. I just want to make sure the car rides true and staight, make sure its not dog tracking or anything.....My car hugs the road fine, better with my rims though...
