Default car "wiggles" on freeway

Ok straight to the point. I just recently bought an 07 ex sedan for my girlfriend. I haven't done anything to it just yet besides the hfp kit all around and the moonroof visor and the 17" hfp's (which is up for trades or sell) so on the first day I drove it home, it ran perfectly fine. The ride was smooth and everything was good to go. But as soon as i hit the free way, i get this "wiggling" feeling of the car swingin side to side just a tad bit but its still scarey at times as i hit about 50 mph i just thought it was probably the freeway or something, i dont know, maybe it will go away . but NO. now its been about 2 weeks since i got it and nothing has changed. So before i go back to the dealer I just wanted to get a little feedback by the rest of the 07 civic sedan owners on this. oh and for future reference, soon Im going to get a set of lowering springs for the car, so far i only found the s techs or the skunks lowering springs, also i havent found any quality shocks, but any opinions would be great and a little feed back on the ride quality would be greatly appreciated. And pictures will be up soon as soon as i upload the pics since you h-t'ers love pics thanx in advance

wiggling or moving back and forth?...probably tires/lugs or tie rods/alignment
as stated...best thing is to just take it in.

and really sivic 3, was the 3rd part really necessary...yeah it probably was since you have an si

Dunno about the wiggle but the moonroof visor is causing your windnoise issue
