Hi, I've recently bought a 2000 clio 172 which has been lowered by the last owner. The thing is, is when I'm pressing on on a high speed corner (throttle half open), the back gets very unsettled and steps out when the car goes over a bump (not lift off oversteer).

Is this handling typical of a small lowered hatch back or are the stock dampers maybe not up to working with the eibach springs? I've got a Williams on standard springs & feel a lot more confident driving it enthusiastically along my local roads
