I've driven the car a couple hundred miles since and it still doesn't feel as tight as I thought it would.....

Terms like "tight" and "loose" can mean different things.
Can you describe more specifically what you are not happy with?
eg. Loose means the car oversteers, loose means the steering wheel has play in it, loose means the steering wheel takes little effort to turn, etc....
Without the benefit of your answer, here are a few comments:
It sounds like you expected some specific improvement and it didn't happen. But it didn't get any worse either.
Assuming you had worn bogies, the bilsteins should have changed the feel profoundly in terms of ride quality and feedback. But it wouldn't change the feel of the steering.
New tires feel less responsive than worn tires. This because the taller tread blocks deform more easily, they squirm more, leading to bigger slip angles.
Turbo tie rods don't change feel too much unless you are replacing worn tie rods.
Alignment settings and ride height can have a profound affect on feel.
