I assume you watch NASCAR when you say it feels 'loose' meaning oversteery am I correct? I'm an aspiring auto engineer and I'd say that it's most likely the rear antiroll bar is far stiffer than the front. I assume the alignment is good considering you've lowered it, but you should check that if it's not the antiroll bars. slight toe out at the rear can cause instability, slight toe in about .5 degree aids stability. Also, chassis parts like subframe connecters and shock tower braces can make a big difference if it feels like the car is slightly flexing in corners. If you run stiff springs on a flexy convertible chassis, the suspension can't work to it's full potential. Not to say miatas have a bad chassis it's great, but it is a convertible so chassis parts make much more of a difference than in coupes. to sum it up: if it's oversteering, first check the antiroll bars, then alignment. If your just feeling the flexing, shock tower bars and or subframe connecters should make a noticeable improvement

Can bad shocks make a car vibrate at high speeds?
If it is a front wheel drive vehicle, it could be your cv axle or bad struts. yes bad shocks could cause vibration ,but i know my car had a bad cv axle in it a while back. the problem was the cv axle was broke in 2. Take it to an auto shop and ask them to test drive it and see if they can tell you what the problem might be. but if its a front wheel drive car, then i would bet money it is the cv axle but if its a rear wheel drive vehicle then ask them to check your universal joints(U-Joints.)
