Actually, my MkIV Golf has a nice solid nimble feel to it. How did you change the suspension when you lowered it? How much did altering the front suspension change things like Caster & Camber angles? Is the Toe set to factory specs or is it something else? What kind of tires are on it and how do they differ from what the car was originally equipped with?
You have to remember that mass produced cars are designed to function properly when equipped the way the original engineers designed it to. Once you mess with that, YOU must re-engineer it to function properly (or the way you want it to handle/feel). Changing the ride height and tire size has changed the spring rate, CG, and stance of the machine. The Unsprung weight may be different as well. You may need to work with an Alignment shop to play with the settings of the steering angles to make it handle/feel better for you.
