More than likely your alignment is off after lowering. An alignment is pretty much manditory after lowering...almost impossible not to significantly change the specs when you lower a car.

And lets not forget the size/width of the wheels/tires and tire pressure.
Those may also have an effect on handling IMO.

i think i know what your talking about. i know where i live, they have some type of black crap thats used to fill in cracks/holes in the streets, and when i drive on them, they tend to make the car move from side to side. i'm lowered 1inch on eibachs, love em. no alignment, asa ar1s, car handles amazing!

Sounds like trambling...are your tires bald or at %50? I'm stock and sometimes I get that with too wide of tires or tires bald/worn. New tires and now ish all good. falken 452.
