Hi, I just lowered my 2k se 5spd with H&R sport springs and noticed that when i exit a turn, the steering wheel is always off center. If i turn right, the steering wheel is off center bout 45deg. The same is true for the turning left. Is this phenomenom from the lowering only? could it be a toe in/out issue? Has anyone experienced this? What can I do about this besides putting the stockers back on.
The car has been aligned and I have camber bolts in and everything is in spec. any ideas?

TIA

Not sure I really understand the issue. Is there massive play in steering then? Does it drive straight at all?
I had no issues when swapping in lowering springs with similar drop. I didn't even need to adjust camber, just toe front and rear. Rear was way out. But drove fine before alignment as well.
Sounds like you have another issue. Maybe they messed the alignment or steering rack? Did you put new strut mounts and bearings?
