v6 to ss suspension ride quality issues

Last March I installed SS struts, sways, and springs and the ride quality to me was fine. Got an alignment and everything was good to go. However, within the past few months the ride quality has gone down and is extremely bouncy, has a bobble head effect. I have SS wheels on my 1lt and the ss suspension like I said.

I brought it to a dealer's service center close to my house and they found nothing wrong with the shocks, not blown or leaking or anything. They even test drove it and "found nothing wrong with it." The tech probably just drove it over smooth roads around the block. They ended up charging me $50 just to test drive it and to tell me nothing was wrong, when clearly is bouncy and unbearable.

I complained to the service manager about having to pay for something when nothing was technically done, and he suggested I see a tech that is more familiar with performance issues. This will be this coming Tuesday next week and I would like to know what to say or do about this?

What could this be? Are my bushings going bad? If they find nothing wrong with it again should I look into investing in some higher quality suspension parts like pedders or something like that? The future wife of mine loves the camaro but complains every time we drive my car! lol, I don't want to have to get rid of my ride, but it might come down to it if this is all just in my head and I have incorrect expectations of the ride quality. I understand I shouldn't expect a Cadillac ride quality, but it definitely has degraded and has become more bouncy.
