Default Sway bar question

Okay, I went along with everyones advice and got a front Whiteline sway bar. After I took it for a spin, I didn't really like the feel on turns, but Im sure I'll get used to it.

Now the question. When turning at speeds 35-45 miles per hour(not 90 degree turns) the rear end still is kicking out alittle. The thing thats concerning me is that I'll keep the steering wheel in the same spot and it'll kick, go back(to what it should be at), kick, go back, etc. Not a big kick either, but decently noticeable.

Im thinking I need to retighten the end links and thats my problem, but just thought I'd ask. I think its because I had the car jacked up when I tightened everything and when I lowered it down, it moved/loosened up? It is also a little chilly out which may cause it as well with grip. Or my alignment is out of whack.

Anything thoughts?

I was also wondering if I should have used the braces by the bushings from the stock sway bar? It didn't say to in the instructions.

What tires are you running? Brand, model, sizes.

Stock size, Kuhmo Ecsta ASX on stock rims.

I didn't notice it as much today driving around.. I think its just the colder weather out(35-45degrees) and my alignment is messed up.

I went to a sub division(brand new and no houses yet) and opened it up alittle bit and it still did it, but not as bad tonight.
