Default Why is car sliding around corners?

Heres my setup
Koni adj's
eibach pro-kit
full energy suspension kit
z-10 radius rods
195-50-15's with bridgestone potenzas S0-3 pole positions
upper neuspeed bar
car is all within specs
This car is sliding through the corners not even at that high of speed and
theres no tire screeching just starts sliding like the car is on dirt or
something. Also the car doesnt even feel tight though the corners at
all. I know its not the tires cuz those pole postions are suppose to be
pretty kickass. Do i need stiffer springs or something to put those tires
on the ground tighter?
let me know if you need more detail guys.

you need wider tires.

try 205/50 15, 195 is just don't give you enough grip.

By sliding, do you mean the front, rear, or the entire car at once?

Your shocks may be a little stiff for the road you're on.

Whenever I had a problem with the front or rear sliding, I softened the shocks till it stopped.
