Eibach lowering springs
alright so a few weeks ago i finally had enough time on my hands to replace the front springs...looks great...the only problem is the drivability...i noticed it first the other night. i was on my way home and decided to give the tires a lil beating. car dint grip at all...so i took it to 90 and started hitting the brakes...car started swaying to both sides...freaked the **** outa me. today on on the highway heading home from work andd as im switching lanes, i get this same swaying feeling....like the springs are way to soft...does everyone have this 'issue' or is that just how the springs are?
if you guyes want pics just ask ill go snap soem real quick...looks real good though so i dont feel that bad

If that doesn't help it could be the fact you are on shocks that struggle to damper springs with more travel and less spring rate (the stock springs), so on lower springs with more rate they are far past their limit. This will cause a floaty, bouncy, disconnected feel.

Also, while you're at it, who did your alignment.
If a shop did it, make sure that your alignment has been done correctly as there seems to be a rash of incompetent alignment techs around these days, and it's apparently not just in one country.
