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....

maybe better tyres needed with more grip ?

Have you had the car properly aligned?

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