Yeah your springs make your sway bars work much harder and put more stress on them. I would pull off your rear sway bar which is only 4 bolts and see if that helps. Just dont go into a corner at high speeds as your car may plow (loss of steering) front wheels skid like a front wheel drive in a snow storm..lol well maybe not so funny when it happens, but it won't be that bad at all, just makin sure you don't hit'em up like normal testing that back end out, because it will stick like glue without that sway bar!

Come to think of it, my car did the same thing wwhen I had the spare tire and speaker box in the trunk!
What do you have for weight in the trunk? Do you fill your tank all the ways up? When specifically does this happen, because the more weight you have back there, the worse it will be! I never fuel my car past 1/2 tank because I sacrafice handling and my *** squats just enough to offset my perfect lowering job and sits the back 1/2" lower than the front which I hate

Thanks guys it just makes me cringe every time I drive it (why i havent been driving it much lately) because I was thinking something was terriblely wrong and I was going to hurt something else. Its good to know that Im not the only one experiencing this.

RE: swaying left and right in rear end
I'm no expert on subframe connectors or anything, but I've heard (insert opinion from other more knowledgablemembers who would know here) that Maximum Motorsports make a superior SF connector than Steeda.. I don't know.. To me all it is a piece of steel connecting the *** to the nose.. But hey, I'm still trying to make my car faster before I make it handle better, or stop better for that matter. Odds are I'll get in a fender bender before that will even happen, and the insurance company will wind up totaling out my car. But hey being in college and not having the$$ to mod your car the way you want to all the timeis a gamble in more ways than one. Happy aggresive driving to you all. And may I add, a moment driving a slower car than my mustang (an acura CL 3.0L- while not that slow), is a moment that I truly do appreciate all the mods, speed, acceleration, and well, flat out *****, my car does have. Enjoy your rides friends.

I thought what he is experiencing is "bumpsteer"? Guess not. I haven't had this problem in my 04 GT but did get alot of it in my lowered 98 Ranger.

Rear sway bar could be broken/loose?\
I took the front sway bar off mine, and the front tires will do that pretty severly

yea for some reason there have been alot of gt owners with broken rear sway bars from regular dd... I've been hammering my car pretty hard through corners and havent had them break yet.
Also with a rear sway and no front sway your probably experiencing a lot of oversteer through corners.
