Default Lowering effects

Ok its been about a month since I lowered my car.(Eibach Prokit) and havent driven it in a week (school). I got in today and the suspension felt so loose. I went and put air in the tires but it didn't help much and I was only 6 psi from max. DO I need swaybars now that its lowered or is something else going on? Thanks in advance

Get some nice stiff struts.... Or if you really want, some poly. bushings. That will tighten the car up for sure.

i got Tokico struts installed at the same time and The springs are alright. It felt fine up until last week then I took it out agian today and it felt funny. Maybe it was cause I haven't driven in a while? Or would Quad shocks in the rear help. it just feel as tight as it was last week.

quad shocks wouldnt help, there mainly there for traction purpose. If you ever get control arms then you would want to take out your quad shocs. How much did you lower your car ?

that feeling you get in the rear end when the wheels are spinning is the way it feels while driving at constant speed
