Default kyb struts problem

i just installed some kyb adjustable struts with eibach sportlines. it lowered the front about 1.5". i havent lowered the rear yet im gonna do the heater hose mod on it. i drove it with them on 5 setting and when i brake my front end goes down like it does with weak shocks. also when i turn it kinda leans into the turn.
is this normal or should i try turning up to 8? would a worn sway bar affect it?

a sway bar does not wear out.......unless you broke it......sway bar bushings on the other hand........you can get poly for the stock sways

highly doubt thats the problem though, perhaps the endlinks? More likely its the bad combination of kyb and sportlines.
