This seems like a very common problem when you're lowered with stock struts. Scary stuff on the highway for sure

I had something similar happen to my car after RE-11's were mounted. I have Whiteline sways in the front and rear and both were set to the stiffest setting. When I tested my car on a long sweeping corner, after the RE-11's were installed, the rear of my car wouldn't settle and wobble.

The fix for me was to back out the stiffness on the sways all the way around the car.
