Mostly the rear but front as well seems like I'm getting a late response when switching lanes quickly kinda weird cause stock was so responsive.

What tires are you using? Are you still using the stock shocks, panhard and strut mounts?

I'm using nitto 555, other than that everything else is stock, no panhard bar, strut mounts the only thing I did was add the eibach pro series springs and kept everything else stock.

Center that rear with an adjustable pan-hard bar make sure the wheel width is acceptable for that tire size, your rims should be 10 inches wide for that tire. 9 inches is not wide enough and will cause stability issues.

Your problem sounds pretty odd. I have the same wheels and tires. I also installed my springs on stock dampers the same day the tires were installed and my ride tightened up quite a bit and cornered great. How much of a drop are those springs?

Any noises, creaks, pops? Something could be loose on the front or over tightened possibly?

Add the panhard bar but really there is something not right for it to be loose... It should have a very snug feel....
Have you had it aligned yet? They will check all your components for you...

That's a pretty significant drop to still use stock dampers. I would do like said above, go get an alignment asap. With that much of a drop there's bound to be something out of alignment.

Edit: Nevermind the alignment, just noticed you had it done already.

I run 35 PSI. It might be the whole combo, those n=Nittos need some heat in them to stick but iwht that drop you def. need a Pan hard bar, they are not expensive... BMR makes a very good one..
