tighter steering

I finally had an alignment done on my lowered car.The car has been lowered about a year ago. As I drove it away from the shop, I noticed the steering wheel is tighter. It now feels a lot more sportier. Corners better? Maybe. Did any else notice theirs after the alignment or is it just me.

well when the alignment isnt correct it can cause the steering effort to be different. also lowering it will make it more responsive

would an alignment cause the wheel to jump? For example when I am driving on a slightly uneven road where the normal path of tires is more worn down and a little lower than the middle and sides on the lane, my wheel seems to jump to the right or left. Is that normal?

fsttyms1 can you help me out?? When driving on the highway at 65mph-70 the car only goes straight if the steering wheel is held slightly to the right, If not the car will drift onto the left lane. In the city it doesn't do it i can hold the steering wheel straight and it will go straight, Also when 80+ mph the car will steer properly it only happens bewtween 60-70mph??

Also I've noticed a dead spot on the accelerator when hitting it at a certain time it won't do anything!!! Normal problems??
