I have an eg civic vti with stock shocks with lowered springs. say i was going around the corner, i was wondering why it felt like the rear of the car was going to either lose control in some turns and in others it felt like the rear was jumping left and right.
how would i correct with? like a quick . eg coilovers?
how is the handling between a stock euro and civic vti? because im interested in purchasing a stock euro

Coilovers, rear sway bar, subframe brace, lca's, good tyres, You will never be scared again
I second the sway bar. Only the top models have good handling lol. Sway bar then coils/springs/shocks.
VTi comes with swaybars. It could be that your shocks are dead

before all that i'd check out the bushes, tyres and air pressures first
no point having the best suspension in the world if the things that hold them to the body are ruined

Euro handling is pretty good stock standard.
i would say shits over EG handling even with ur springs lol.

a heavy sway bar on the rear of your car (or any car will make the rear end more "adjustable" towards an oversteer condition, which feels like the car is losing control, or is going to come around on you... putting a bigger sway bar will not delete this
the car is quite old so i would look firstly at shocks (which are probably now blown due to age and the extra stress of lowered springs) and all the bushings which by now would surely be shot... get a good wheel alignment then learn the car... after that you can plan other mods
