Steering Wheel Play / Slightly Disconnected Feeling

For me, dialing in more camber up front introduced more responsiveness and quicker turn in. Get your alignment checked.

Also, anytime I have been subject to what your are feeling, outer tie rod ends had developed slop.

It's funny, my lowly winter Civic Si (with 5X the mileage) is 10X better than my 1er in this regard. Switching between the two, it takes a while to get used to the other one again.

Civic Si/RSX-S are one of my favorite cars, handling is fantastic
