suspension help

[mp3boy1984]

like it says, my car is currently dropped with ground control coils, not slammed all the way, but it is noticeable. Anyway, it seems that when i hit a series of bumps in the road (because i can feel them all with the stiff springs) the back end of my car kinda gets outta control kinda like i am driving a rwd car. The back end almost seems like it wants to come out from under me, and the suspension seems kinda loose. I am going to call the dealership today, because they said when i purchased the car from the lease or whatever, they gave me a 97,000 mile warranty, and anyway they said that all my oem mazda parts would be covered under warranty, however obviously the aftermarket wouldn't beem which i alreay knew......anyways, does anyone know what it could be? also i took off the spoiler, and i know downforce doesn't play a huge role at all, but could this be part of it, without the added weight on the rear end along with subtraction of downforce....doesn't seem reasonable to me, but i am out of ideas.....and oh yea, i noticed when i looked under the car one of the sway bar links was broken and just kinda hangin there obviously that could be one of the problems as well

Sway bar end link first. You'd be suprised at the effect that will have on handling.

If that doesn't change things (which it should), I'd say your riding the bumpstops in the back.

Definately endlink problem

You have not reached the bumpstops yet I don't think. Even if you did, bumpstops alone would be a symetrical impact from left to right not just one side but if your endlink is broken the additional resistance lost may be causing you to bottom out on that side only. I have had mine slammed even before I put the full coilovers and speak from my experience on bottoming out.

I am about a 1/2 inch lower than this now.

Dealer will usually not even touch it if you have messed with suspension.

It's probably because the coil springs and your struts are not matched together. The unsprung weight/rebound wants to kick your back end out. Maybe your struts are starting to go and you're actually bottoming out on the bumpstops that's causing the extra "bounce".
