steering wheel seems stiffer after lowering?
Hello!
Just got my HR sport (not super sport) springs installed (professionally by Mod auto) and... I could SWEAR that the steering wheel is a little firmer/stiffer... it still changes stiffness and gets stiffer in sport mode. My friend says its all in my head... But I just want to make sure nothing is wrong and that this is normal.  I have not gotten an alignment yet, as it was recommended that I wait a few weeks to let it 'settle'... And yes i did googling/searching ^^ which yielded me everything from normal to not normal to get alignment, get camber kit, etc~~ 2014 428i Coupe HR Sport Springs approx 1" drop, or 1/2" from sport suspension same OEM wheels for now. -Sam |

its likely alignment. you might be running a lot more toe in which case the car wont want to move off center making the steering feel heavier

that makes sense~~ ill be getting an alignment in a few weeks
 hopefully the feel returns to normal~~ it basically feels almost like sport mode in comfort and of course sport more respectively a little stiffer |
