Default Should my 94 squat when I gas it?

I dont know if its because I lowered the car or because I have bigger tires out back, 315 Nittos, but when I gas the car the back seems to squat down more than usual. At least thats what it seems like. Is this normal or do I have some suspension/shock problems?

It's normal for the rear to squat down. We have found that sometimes by lowering you will loose traction.
