A lowered Camaro is not goin to feel like a Caddy so you can just forget about that. 275s aren't wide either. The best thing to do is get Bilstiens or some other after market shock to replace the ones that you have if you're looking for comfort.

an alignment would help to calm that problem down

IMHO its just part of driving a performance car. The same characteristics that make it handle good in the corners will also make it dance around and jerk on crappy highways. That's why a caddy floats over the crappy highway and is horid in the corners (generalizing caddy's...i know not all of them are this way....don't want to **** any caddy owners off.....ha)

i have 335s on the back of my camaro with a 1.25" drop and bilsteins and it rides great.

Make sure the tires are inflated properly. I find an overinflated tire tends to grap the ruts in a road, where an adequately inflated tire, cruises along happily.

My car when it was running rides great as well. You cant tell the difference from stock to now during normal cruising, but it tightens up when you hit the twisties.. I have Eibach Pro Kit mated to revalved bilsteins. I am running 275's in the front and 315's in the rear. Hell on road trips the car is smooth.

Alignment! Tell them whats going on, and they can compensate for it some. I forget, its not toe-in or out, but I believe its caster adjustment, might be camber, but its one them. Caster the relationship of the wheels fore & aft centerline as seen from above, too far back acts like a grocery cart wheel floppign around. So, maybe camber, the relationship of the two front tires to eachother = Parellel to eachother as seen from the front, if the bottom is out, looks like the rear of a Honda with load in trunk. Or the opposite, where the tops of the tires are farther out, making it look like a tractor. Lowering will effect this. Just have it check and when they read the printout, explain what its doing, and they might be able to adjust it some.

Wide tire syndrome; or sometimes called "trough following." Happens anytime you have wide tires and stiff springs/shocks on the front of a car; this is the price of having a car that handles. You can eliminate most of it with some 225's on 16 inch rims.

Alignment will solve most of the problem. Have the toe set to 0, the camber set to -.1 degrees, and the caster to 4.3 degrees.
That is the performance end of the stock range....so you will get good tire wear with slightly better handling. That should calm the tramlining down a lot.
