the quarter inch line is your problem. any pipe in your house will give you 58 psi but the volume of water just isn't there. your feeder from the street is 3/4 to the meter, out of the meter should be 3/4 to your hot water heater and the distribution lines should be 3/4. the utilization lines to your fixtures can be dropped to 1/2 and 3/8 for the supply tubes. the quarter inch line is acting like a venturi offering pressure but throttling down the volume of water.
