happened a few times now since iv lowered my suspension,once really bad (180) :whistle: only got lowering springs on the rears fronts lowered as well, no problems there, could i maybe have unsettled something. tyres seem fine.
-
Well if you have only lowered the rear that is never going to handle.

Did you put the front wheels on the back?
High pressure in the rear will make it oversteer
If the front is a lot lower than the rear then that will give oversteer too.

Low cars don't handle that we'll also.
Roads are bad at the moment

Sense.
Dropping the car moves the range the suspension works within, this can upset the handling no end.
Common misconception that lowering the centre of gravity automatically gives you better handling....

This. I think Balance Motorsport looked at the MK4 and actually concluded that it handled better by being RAISED :shocked:

had the fronts done few weeks ago after doing the suspension.
have been thinking about a 4 wheel laser alignment but was under the impression the rears cant be adjusted, or am i wrong.

There is some adjustment in the rear beam I believe. Equally a proper 4 wheel alignment will check out your camber and castor etc etc. the kiwi fit type alignment is a waste of time IMO

thanks, will maybe look into it, garage i used for my alignment just used the clamp on the wheel thingy.
