RE: Lowering effects
I installed 2 inch DZSport springs in mine last Saturday. I also installed Prothane spring isolators and front end-links. I didn't get the drop I expected, but I love the change in the handling. Maybe your rear shocks are just not up to the task. The slop you feel may be the difference you FEEL, because you put new struts up front, but left the rear as is.
I installed by 2 inch drop springs and my back dropped 1 inch, but the front remains at the stock height. I have no idea why! I know my new isolators will suck up 1/2 inch of my drop, but 2 inches?

i have no idea what you are describing but it sounds REALLY bad LOL. Look to make sure your springs are still seated properly and that all the bolts are done up on the back suspension. I would take it in to the dip**** who did the work and tell him to fix it.

If you can't diagnose it yourself, you better get a shop to look at it because that is NOT normal.
