Who installed the suspension? you? I would guess it's alignment. However, you might want to make sure that your wheels are balanced and the lug nuts are tightened too.

you should get an alignment any time you adjust the suspension

any time you let go of the wheel and your car does not run in the direction you had it in before you let go, that's alignment

to check if it's alignment jerk the wheel to one side and if it returns quickly then your alignment should be good. Do it to both sides. This does sound like an alignment issue though.

My car did the same thing when i lowered it. I had a couple problems. First, the stock shocks bleed out the oil.. so i got some kyb gas shocks. Good stuff, this made the ride smoother. My car was still shaking a bit so i checked my alignment. And yes, my alignment was off, so i got that fixed. After that, the ride was good but i finished it off with some camber kits that way the rides wear down equally instead of wearing down on the edges.

Everything is great now. I bet its your alignment.
