Do you mean like bounce like you just went over a bump? If thats the case, then its just that your coilovers are bouncy, skunk2s are good quality, but coilover sleeves in general are VERY bouncy.

Well 4 me, it's like when im going on a curve something like a " S " but not a very narrow thing, very simple. My car's rear just misses it's tracktion. Seems like a rally kind of a thing.
A few dayz ago i was like taking a long curve turn, n i used my brakes, the car just seemed 2 go straight while the wheels were turned 2 the left. I took my foot of the brake and the car just went out of controll, like going i didn't have a steering.
Thanx.

First off the only pedal you should be touching in a corner is the gas pedal. Brake/downshift before entering the corner. When you were turning the wheels left & going straight - thats understeer.
Darkaccord - check your tire pressures & loosen up the rear end a bit or maybe tighten depending how you have it set now. Rear wheel hop?

Yeah I was thinking maybe of tightening up a bit. Maybe putting a good sway bar would help. I know its to help roll but what about keeping the tires on the ground.

Sway bars tie both ends of the suspension together making an independent suspension less independent. Rear sway bar upgrade will definatley help your handling issues.
Basically in a turn the body leans - taking weight off one side. A sway bar should add more weight/force to the opposite side.
