Default have a problem

i have a suspension setup with front rear strut and tie bar.... obx coilovers(i know i know) the thing is there adjustable and the car is to low in my opinion and i was going faster than i ever should have been going on public roads today and the car didnt feel to precise kinda started to sway at high speed and didnt help when i tapped the brakes.... i think the cars to low and i hit a bump or something and it bounced... anyone know what could have caused this???? i want to replace the suspension but i just bought the car so untill then should i raise it up i heard someone say its lowered like 3 inches should i raise it up .5 to 1 inch?

my guess would be that it needs an alignment (probably don't have a camber kit, do you? be honest...)

you probably have negative camber, negative toe (toe out) and your struts are probably busted.

get new struts (some good ones, most performance struts have shorter strut bodies so you can go lower w/o busting them), get a camber kit, and get an alignment. you'll only need an ingall's kit (or skunk2, if you got the $$) and just use washers and longer bolts for the rear.
hope this helps
