Actually, the steering is quite light at low speeds, much lighter than my 1983 BMW 320i with manual steering. In high speed turns, the steering weights up nicely but it is never "heavy". I am not sure why the variation and it does concern me. I have good reason to suspect a very poor corner-balance and the alignment was done prior to a brake refresh so it may have been trying to counter a pull from a sticking caliper.
I do notice a very strong connection with the front tires, which I like. In a turn, I can feel them starting to work harder as I turn-in or if I get on the throttle too early. It keeps me trying to drive easy on the tires and smooth.
I am doing monoball strut top bearings and Rebel Racing A-arm bearings to go with monoballs in the rear so when the corner-balance/alignment is done the settings should be more precise and stable.
I suppose since I never really complain about the steering feel while driving, I should just stick with what I am used to.
I think I will try for equal 6.4 degrees and see how that feels with the new suspension. I will report in a couple weeks when the work is done.
