Default Skating around, need opinions

Been playing with my new set-up for a couple months now and everyonce in a while the car will skate around pretty bad above 100mph. My question is what can i do to help the problem? A little on my set-up............. 28x10.5 slicks (stiff sidewall) and tubes, rear 1 inch spohn solid rear sway bar, qa1's on all 4, I have all suspension but didnt' think the rest mattered all that much for the problem Im having.

How new/old are the tires? Could be the tires you are feeling, or I would check all of the suspension components for looseness, like the panhard bar.

Also, try to run as much air as possible 18-22 psi in the rear tires until it starts to spin. That will help out too.

Over sized rear swaybar, + shitty shock dampening + drag tires.
Probably also have aftermarket LCA's that are binding...
