Default Suspension problems! Back end is unstable. shutters left or right??!!!???

Ok ill give you guys the setup.
I have DMS 50mm rally setup on all four corners accompanied by; STI strut mounts
Cusco front upper strut tower bar
18mm FHI sway bar
Revolutions adjustable control arms

Ok. recently i have been having trouble and perhaps it has been happening ever since i threw on my DMS. but It seems to be getting worse. While driving on the road my back end will shift left and right like there is no traction. mostly happening in the rain. I will be driving straight ahead and ill drive over the marker tape or the road arrows on the ground and the back end will shutter left and right. or going over a manhole itll kick left or right depending where i hit it. It feels like something isnt working well at all. it should be steady and not lose its back end when going straight. Its frightening when going around a corner and i hit some street marker tape. back end shifts really quick. its not oversteer it is just losing ground for a second. like something is broke. but i just reinstalled everything and it looks ok. when you you are driving straight it feels like someone pushes your car from the back side. Its not working together. anyone have this problem?????

I also forgot to put in an important factor. I have an appointment to get an aligment but havent got one yet after reinstalling my dms and putting on the adjustable control arms. Could this be an alignment deal. the toe in the back is messed up? but why would my back end lose control when going over anything slick? both left and right

The front does not do this. only the back loses ground.
The tires are fine also. the lug nuts are torqued properly. bolts are tighen properly also.
