Did you get an alignment? What do you mean by "squirrely?" Loose? Clunky? More oversteering at the limit?
I would first make sure everything is tight down there - bolts, bushings, etc are in good order.
I've never actually heard of someone saying that lowering their car made the back end feel looser.
What kind of tires are you running? If you go with a stiffer swaybar, you may actually notice the car will be more likely to oversteer and slide out.

idk why i said since i lowered it? its been doing it since i got my new tires, there kumho extas. the place that instaled them put 50psi in them to begin with so i droped it down to 40 and it got a lot better but it still feels funny changing lanes on the highway. do you think an alignment would fix this?
thanks

I have the escta 4x's and have this same issue. However my friend has the same tire and same size as I on his 98. No issues. I think mine are due to worn bushings.
