new springs will soften some over time, are the shocks gas charged?

those will add some stiffness but shouldn't affect drastically the way you describe.
Did you remove or replace the control arm bushings by chance?

The control arm bushings have not yet been replaced

OK just another thought...? just making sure the control arms move freely up and down.
I have had an issue with new bushings that were too tight and resulted in the control arm movement being stiff.
At this point, I would say, just drive it some more and see if it gets any softer?
I can't think of any other obvious cause(s)....sorry
