Default Suspension question on del sol?

Hello, I just bought a del sol and when i purchased it, it came with factory blown shocks and it was slammmeeeddd on arospeed coilovers. It drove like crap.

Now I bought the tokico advance handling kit with springs, and it drives fun, only lowered about 1.3-1.5 inches. Not much but it drives smooth.

Now I was driving on the high way and the car started wabling, kinda felt as if the chassis was twisting a little. When I would turn the wheel left and right quick i can feel the wable. NOw is this because the suspension is not a race setup or not stiff enough, or is it that i need to add some struts or sway bars in addition to the stocks that i got already?

what do you mean by wobble ? a vibration? not to state the obvious but make sure you tightend your wheels good. when i dropped my car i had the same problem of turning left and right and hearing it make a wobbling sound, it turned out to be i was so excited to put the car on the ground to check my drop that i forgot to tighten the lug nuts. and yes i was also going highway speeds and it drove straight fine too.
