How did you lower the car?? Was it done in a shop?? If so how low did you go, low or super low??
 

What's the difference between understeer and oversteer?
Understeer is when the driver is scared.
Oversteer is when the passenger is scared.

Pretty much you have it to low. I would suggest getting proper springs and shockies to suit the height that you want or get some springs with a higher spring rate which will make the ride very hard and bumpy. Is it a live diff or independent??

I have her that sometimes there has to be an adjustment done to the tail sahft when going lower on the car. This involves spacing the center bearing bracket so the tail shaft ain't near the floor pan as much.

If it is live you are to low and the only thing you can do is do as I suggested before unless you want to go to the trouble of changing the actual diff angle which will cost you more than setting up the suspension properly.

That would then render your suspension inoperable and therefor useless. Sorry buddy no way around it.
