2) poor high speed handling - does not ride the 'rail' - likes to wander.
3) 4 different alignment machines ( shops) show perfect 4 wheel alignment.
4) oem alloy rims with 'H' rated tires for stiffer sidewall stability.
5) no obvious worn parts (lots of new stuff like upper ball joints etc)

The rods that run from near the unibody up to the lower control arm? Have you checked those trust bushings? Just replace them.
