your brake bias will have gone tits up after the lowering.
There is a valve which controls the pressure to the rear brakes. because yours is lowered the valve is fooled into 'thinking' there is a lot of weight in the rear and thus applies more force when braking.
could be that

onless the rear is lower than the front then that wont happen, im not sure if all model saxos have the bias valve anyway.
i would get your ride height sorted first then go from there.
