I don't feel I've overtired the car but some response was lost a bit compared to the old tires even after a few hundred break-in miles. My car goes in for an alignment hopefully next week so I think that should help (installing the oem crash bolts too) but I'm kinda worried that alone won't get the response to the level I want. Seems like some people say springs are the answer? Just curious what methods are out their to increase the steering response of this car with some grippier tires.

That’s interesting. How exactly has the responsiveness changed? Does steering feel “numb” or do you just feel less connected? I’ve heard lots of good things about those tires and it sounds like you have a decent setup so it’s kind of odd you’d lose responsiveness. Those tires are certainly grippier than what you had before so maybe it’s just something to get used to
What’s the suspension setup?
