Steering doesn't feel as responsive after lowering
One thing I loved about my 335 from the start was the laser sharp steering. To make a turn I'd only have to move the wheel a couple of inches - it was very responsive. Since I lowered it, first on H&R sports over ZSP shocks, now with KW V1 coilovers, I've noticed that I need to turn the steering wheel more to execute the same turn. Like the steering just feels a bit looser, less responsive. I haven't yet had it aligned because I'm not sure if I'm keeping this set up, but I'm not sure an alignment would help. Everything was installed properly and is tight. I felt this way about my E46 after lowering too. Has anyone else noticed this effect after lowering the car (on any type of spring or coilover) and what can be done to remedy it?

I'll try getting an alignment (didn't want to blow the $150 plus $175 for corner balancing, if I elect to corner balance) since I'm not even sure I'll keep the coilovers. They're still a bit harsh for the crappy Seattle roads, at least on 19"s. I didn't think alignment would help since I experienced the same loss of precision with my E46 328Ci on Bilstein PSS9s and alignment didn't seem to make a difference. Thanks for replies though.
