Default Handling gone to poo

My Uk 99 Turbo seems to be handling like crud right now.

It seems like the back end is all to hell mostly from the passenger side. It's not too bad when the road is flat but any bumps and its all over the place. It's got the wiggling **** syndrome, it feels pretty scary and i have lost faith in driving it hard till i get it sorted. I have had the car 5 years and never changed bushes or any other underneath dirty parts.

I have standard suspension with about 80k on her now. Eibach Spings about 6 months old and had the geometry all set up at the same time. Its been maybe a month or so i have not been happy at all with it.

Any ideas what it will be?, drop links etc are all beyond me, but would be good to know what it is before i get raped taking it in to a garage.

Cheers for any advice.

I've put STi anti roll bars (fr & back), Perrin drop links and a Whiteline Anti lift kit on my Import WRX and it handles like a dream for me even with standard shocks. That's what I'd recommend. Also check your tyre pressures if you haven't already because people always underestimate how much that can effect a cars handling. Goodluck

It's def something not right. I have checked tyre pressures and the shocks seem solid enough. I get a real bang when going over humps and the end of the car really twists out. Cheers for good advice on sorting her out once i find the fault. But im still looking for ideas of the likely fault if poss. Don't want to drive her right now as it feels dangerous boo hoo. I do expect something to be worn out or broken. 80k on her now and not had to do much.

Take it to a garage and get them to diagnose the fault.
