After I had the BMR K member installed replacing my slightly bent stock K member, the car just doesnt respond like it use to. What can I do to get it back?

I am doing SFCs very soon, I'm sure they will help a tiny bit. What about the STB and a larger sway bar?

Thanks

Just changing the k-member shouldn't have any effect on steering response. It's a structural member and doesn't directly contribute to the handling of the car.

But... the car had to be re-aligned as a result of changing the k-member.

The new alignment must be different than the old one. Who aligned it and did they give you the specs they set it to?

With it being lighter, there is less weight on the wheels. Wouldnt it make the steering feel lighter, and quicker? I believed it does contribute to the handling of the car as now the nose is lighter. In a hard turn, without knowing the front and rear weights, the car would have a tendency to understeer more than with the stock k-member. I suggest, a alignment if you havent had one, and a STB (though most view it as a minimal gain).

I dont see how that is correct. The K member is thinner allowing way more front end flex than the stock 40lbs unit.

I did have it aligned and he did not give me the specs. What are the specs it should be?

With new stiffer bilstein shocks and 275/35/18 tires you would think it would be even more touchy than whehn it had the decarb shocks and 275/40/17 tires. But that is definately not the case.

Beefier Front sway bar from Spohn and some upper and lower control arms up front will make a night and day difference.
