Factory coil overs felt shot, took all four off a parts car and feels no better. What adjustments might be on a stock 90 n/a, or what other than shocks might cause it to feel like it's going to slide right off the road at just the slightest bump?

If this helps narrow it down at all, when I hit a bump or pot hole it feels like it's sliding to the right, everytime. Like the back end could come all the way around , for instance yesterday when it started to rain I got off the highway, scared to hit a bump during acceleration or development and just come unglued from the pavment.
