Suspension 1987 RX7 Turbo

I have a 1987 RX-7 Turbo with stock everything pertaining to suspension. My question is, what is it that makes the RX-7 feel light and out off control when turning into the corners? It never use to feel like this until recently Could it be the balljoints, struts, shocks or something else? Please explain what would make my cars stirring feel really light in the corners suddenly? When it's wet I feel like I'm on ice I currently have a great set of Bridgestone Potenza RE92 205/55 VR16 tires with good tread.

I Crashed my 15 year old friend, it rolled 2 times and came to a rest under a tree I guess the suspension had major problems? I was on my way to get it looked at I made a lane change at about 45 mph, she spun around bounced up onto the curve sideways then rolled across a service road. My insurance company will be out to look at it my mechanic believes that they will total the car, which judging by the Blue Book it's not worth what I put into it 2400.00 versus 7000.00 that I put into it. I may by it back from the insurance company and part it out I will follow up on this story
