The car in question is a 92 civic hatch cx w/ b18 (no tie-bars, strut bars or polyurethane bushings installed everything is stock other than coilovers). The car feels extremely light on the highway/streets (highways is more noticeable). The car doesn't have a camber kit and is dropped about 2.5"-3" tuckin about half the tire on my 205-50-15 azenis. I got the car aligned after installing the full coilovers (omnipower). I found out during alignment my inner tie-rod boot needs replacing and the tie rods might be bent slightly. According to my alignment shop which was referred to me from a reputable shop, that would not affect the feel of the car it would affect it a bit in pulling to one side or the other (The inner tie-rod has a locking mechanism it doesn't move much according to him). So I'm trying to figure out what it could be that led to this.
I read in the only thread that came up in the search, it could be toe related but my alignment readout says it's not. Other than a cracked/loose bushing or toe-related problem what else can it be?

You have 2 problems - your ride height is too low for your spring rate, and your bottoming out - and likely the shocks arent handling the springs that you have on them. I'd have the toe re-checked at another alignment place to be sure as well.
