Default Problem with springs/camber kit...

I recently installed Eibach Sportline Springs and a Skunk 2 rear camber kit on my 07 FA5. For some reason I am having a weird feeling of the car when I am driving it. It feels like the car is moving side to side (it feels like its staying horizontal with the ground but sliding side to side like the *** end is loose) WAY more then it should, almost like its pivoting off of the center point of my car. It is hard to explain, basically that its...... loose when I am driving. I noticed it a bit during normal driving while the road is dry and it all nice and sunny... but a lot more when it is raining/more slippery then normal. Today was the first day I drove it in the snow (lovely ohio weather in October) and it was BAD. I was terrified for my life, the car literally went whereever the f*ck it wanted, and I am clueless, I dont know if it is the wheels, or the sway bars, or the camber or what...

I haven't had an alignment/camber adjusted because a company has f*cked me over for 3 weeks now on the front camber kit so I am waiting to get that before I have the toe/camber/alignment done and I dont know if that will solve the problem or not?

Has anyone else had this problem?!? Or maybe know what is causing it?!

Thanks guys... ohh and HELP!!!

Only inch and a half. Everything is very tight! I had 2 people already tell me I don't need anything besides my alignment is probably f*cked because of the springs/rear camber were installed... so they said go get an install and it will be taken care of....

supposidly?

you need an alignment.

you cant just install springs and change the camber and expect the toe not to be affected. you DIRECTLY impacted the alignment of the car. you must get an alignment.

be sure to get a printout of the before and after and share with us the results.
