Default Swaying from rear end

After I replaced my wheels and tires with Z06s 19x10 rear and 18x8.5 front. The rear tires are Pirelli PZereo Rosos. Theres a noticeable swaying coming from the rear end. It gets worse when I hit the lip on a bridge or a rough road.

Ive checked the rear sway bar, including the end links and everything seems intact and fine. Its a stock sway bar with stock shocks and springs.

Yeah, an upgraded panhard bar is probably what you need. That helps the rear of the car from scooting left and right...not sure if that makes sense just typed out. Buying new sway bars will also compliment those improvements that a new panhard bar can give you.

What does the adjustable part matter? Its just a DD, no trips to the strip or anything crazy.

If you drop the car you can center the axle under the car since it tends to kick out to the driver's side.

this is the reason I came to the conclusion of getting adjustable. Who knows what I will do suspension wise in future so I might as well get it now

Very good point, once its no longer my DD I may drop it and swap the rear for a 9". Any particular brand to go with? I was thinking either umi or spohn.
