especially at high speeds, lowered springs increade it even futher and if the differential mout is goin bad it will make it really bad.

Solution is to check the diff.mount first, then there are camber plates made specificly to return the camber back to factory specs(roughly since not all springs are the same hieght) if you have lowered springs. Call BMP,Bavarian Autosport etc. for details. Do you know what type of springs were added? or were the stock ones cut?

I had to reweld the diff. mount channel that ripped out of the floor due to cheap quality of material, way too thin. The repair was professionally done and beefed-up. The springs are aftermarket ones. What will happen if I put the stock ones back in, will the problem be gone or is it that this car wasn't set up for wide tires?? What about 635 struts? 733/5 struts?
