Default suspension question...help me out!

Well I just did a list of things to the front end of my car

Ground control coil overs (1.75 drop)
KYB GR2 Shocks
passenger and driver outer tie rod ends
New steering boots
passenger upper ball joint
Full energy suspension master kit
sway bar endlinks
and ingalls camber kit (anchor type)
well I just got it all together and took it for a ride. It is HORRIBLE when I hit a bump it sounds like I have NO suspension and the car is very unresponsive and pulls really hard to whatever side i turn to. I am going to take it and get an alignment because I can visually see that the toe is like \ / and the camber kit is not set I just put it on. Im almost afraid to drive it to the alignment shop becasue the nearest one is like 25 miles away. Would that cause the ride to be HORRIBLY bad?
Thanks
Matt

this guy found out the people who installed his GC didnt cut the dust sleeve enough, given his low ride height. i suggest if you didnt get rid of the dust cover sleeves entirely, you do so. get some accordian boots, steering rack boots work fine too if you really care.

and get an alignment asap to prevent uneven tire wear.
