Does anyone have advice on making steering feel a bit more heavy? Are there any alignment settings or modifications that can do this? I have done several suspension mods to try and get a heavier steering feel. The mods have definitely improved overall handling, but have not helped in a more weighted steering feel. Below are my current suspension mods. I am looking into sway bars to see if this may help. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

Current Suspension Mods:

Tein Flex Z (lowered 1.4 inch front/1 inch rear) 7/8 clicks from full stiff.
Grimmspeed Front strut bar
Energy Suspension Poly Front LCA bushings
Energy Suspension Poly steering rack bushings
17X9 +45 RPF1 w/ 245/40/17 Hankook RS3 (running 30 PSI cold all around)

Alignment Settings from the top of my head:
Front Camber: -1.5
Front Toe: 0
Front Caster: little over 6 degrees

Rear Camber: -.9
Rear Toe: Can't remember, but I know it is slight toe in.
