Default 94 cobra suspension

Hey guys. As some of you might know i recently lowered my cobra and installed new shocks and struts. I like it but on turn the body rolls to the sides and when i brake the front still dips.?
Ive done this to all my foxes and had these issues but much minor. Anything i can do to help., this is my 1st sn-95 so im sure its heavier than the fox which prob has everything to do with.

How bad are your bushings?

My 95 cobra with 96k miles would just about break your back going through intersections and hitting the ruts in the road from cross traffic.

Your struts/springs likely are not getting to do their job due to bad bushings.

I am going a different route but needless to say i began my road with new control arms on all four corners at same time as new coilovers.

Ride was so much improved it was stupid.

Bushings will help. If you buy UPR control arms and cc-plates, it'll tighten up the handling quite a bit.
