By lowering the car, your IC has changed. Are the upper control arms adjustable? You may need to review your suspension geometry to see where it ended up. It is very possible it is not applying force to the rear wheels like it was before. It is also possible your tires are worn out, its hotter out and track prep was ****, etc... etc...

Throw out some more details on your set-up and we can see how we can help.
