Default Suspension does't feel right

Hey I don't know if somethings wrong but for some reason if I take turns going like 40mph, I sqeel my tires.
This happens all the time and also happens if i jerk the wheel. Also when I jerk the wheel it feels almost as if im on snow or something, almost like a fishtail type thing.
I have H&R coilovers and a shark racing strut bar, anyone know if this is normal?

Okay, how much did you lower the thing when you got the new coilovers?

you should get the alignment checked of course. tighten all of your strut tower bolts. bad bearing, cv joint, control arm perhaps? otherwise i've never heard of this.

I think it might be the alignment, I haven't had one since I changed to coil-overs. And the coilovers are almost on the highest setting.

Go lower with the Coil overs... You may have the spring tension set to soft, tighten the spring tension and set the Dampers a little harder...
