Default Hatch problems after lowering

I have a 91 hatch dx and just recently installed new lowering springs, struts, inner and outer tie rods, front upper arms, camber kit, rear lower arm and stabilizer then got an alignment done. Afterwards my car is very bouncy and I feel every single little bump (some hitting very hard) almost like I have bad struts. I check the struts and they are all good. Need some help on this one!

What springs?
What struts?

Who installed this setup? Alignment specs?

I got all parts on Ebay. I installed everything myself and took it to my local shop for alignment. He showed me on the print out that it's aligned

You're springs are probably junk. No specified spring rate on those generic ones. How low is it?

Any springs you would recommend that are good but not to expensive? Also would crappy springs cause the struts to fail or is that a diff problem?

garauntee its the springs, had to remove those ebay junk ones when I got my hatch. If you want it lower, and still ride great I highly suggest Vogtland springs, they are on ebay also, the ride is awesome as is the price
