Heavy Steering on a lowered car?
So I test drove a lowered 03 TL-S the other day, It is lowered on Form and function type 2 coilovers. It isn't slammed, but it is tucking some tire. I noticed the steering felt a little bit heavy compared to a stock TL I took for a spin earlier in the week. I have never driven another lowered TL, and I am wondering if this is a function of the lowering, or if there is something else at play?

HAHA that was something else I noticed, although I didn't hear anything rubbing. Thanks for the reply!
It is kind of odd that it happens, I didn't notice any major difference in steering of my civic when I lowered it, and the steering geometry is similar to the TL, although it has a lower A arm instead of the radius rod in the front...
