92 Suspension Problem

92 Camaro RS
Front Suspension seems to be binding and will not give or float when the car is at normal ride height.
Have replaced the control arm bushings , ball joints, struts, strut mount bearings, Springs (oem ride height) , sway bushings and links in order to try to solve the problem but really havn't changed a thing except to restore the true OEM ride Height (was about 3/4 inch low).
I have extensively checked to find any areas that are/ were rubbing and made sure that all moving parts have full range of motion and are free. Spring insulators are in place and in good condition too.
Yet I still have the super stiff front suspension and when jounced downward it sounds like something is binding or rubbing ( sounds like metal to metal ) but cannot find the source of the noise and stiffness. When the car is raised , the suspension will flex easily and about normal until the car is lowered back to ride height. Then there is hardly any flex or give at all.
This is giving a miserable level of ride comfort
Any Suggestions of what to try next or to look for??
Thanks in advance for any help

Metal to metal sound after replacing all of that? The only suggestion that I can think of is perhaps the wheel bearing have some play and check your brakes...Im sure others will chime in and give u some suggestions...U didnt mention wheel alignment....did u check that????
