<<Tight Controlled Feel>>

[brpeclipse]

Just wondering guys..is there a way to regain the 'tightness' of the steering wheel after lowering a car? I just recently lowered my car and that feel of control has lessened a LOT. Can anybody help please? Thanks in advance..

strut tower bars.... lower stress bars

Not meaning the stiffness of the chassis, Im talking more-so about the response of the steering wheel...it feels well, weak. When my suspension was stock, the steering wheel was very responsive and had no slack/play in it. Now it feels as if it moves very easily and doesnt have that "sturdy" feeling to it.

There are two things you should look at very closely. First is toe (both front and rear) this changes when you lower the car. Also, you probably have a lot of negative camber after lowering, this can only be fixed by adding adjustable camber (eibach makes some). Bottom line, get a four wheel alignment to correct the toe this will also tell you how far off the camber is. You can live with negative camber but it is better to adjust it. Incorrect toe will drastically affect how the steering feels and will kill tires fast if its wrong. Lots of negative camber will wear the tires a little more on the inside but not as much as incorrect toe. Hope this helps.

Yeah, that what my guess was as well..alignment. Im going to get one within the week, so hopefully that helps. Thanks for your input.
