Default Car is hard to keep in a strait line, very hard steering??

alright, since i lowered my car it has been just brutal as far as staying in the tire tracks. it follows every little change in the road. sending me left and right, on rough roads its hard to stay in the same lane.

is this cause i need an alignment " already got one when i lowered it "
or whats goin on here, the steering is very stiff and just makes the car wonder around.

anyone else have a similar problem?

Are you saying you did or didn't get an alignment after you lowered it? I lowered mine and it's darty and I need to get it in to get it aligned. I just got it on the road Friday for the first time since I lowered it. Do you have something binding? My steering is the same as before. What did you use to lower it?

What specs did u get for the alignment? Also anything 275+ in tire size will cause this.

Theres a sticky at the top with some specs on it. Also doing a search will return the specs that everyone favors.
