question about newly installed suspension

i just got my illuminas and s-techs installed 3 days ago. i love it so far, the drop is perfect and i can definitely feel the car hugging the road alot more around corners. i only have one concern. i was on the highway today and when i got to around 60mph, the ride felt alot different. it's difficult to explain, it sorta felt like something was hugging the wheels. i know, it sounds weird but like i said, it's really difficult to explain the feeling. i feel it in the pedal and steering wheel. has anyone else experienced this? is this normal, like a breaking in sorta thing? please let me know, so in case it is something bad, i can get it fixed right away before i break something. thanks

did you get an alignment done? If not that could be your problem...
Good luck

I take it you didnt get an aligment. Your specs could be out of spec which would cause an unsual ride. Print out the factory specs for what your camber,caster,toe etc. . . should be and go get an alignment, make sure they give you a print out of what figures your car is set to and compare to the facotry spec list. Make sure its all in spec. Road test and see if your problem is gone.
