hmm, that's interesting, when you say steering is slower, I don't know how that could be the case. on my 135, steering is definitely quicker than before in terms of the car responding to steering input (I did ditch the run crap tires and when with some RE01R). It feels noticeably heavier than before, I'm not sure if this is what you mean. You'll feel that it'll be even heavier and stiffer after the hotchkis front sway installed. And you'll feel that your front is ultra solid, where your rear is bouncy... I'm gonna do something about mine soon, I hope...
Also, by boring, do you mean the car now roll less, and it just seems like you aren't going fast anymore? I did have that feeling for a while, but you'll soon learn that ok, because, that just mean you aren't going fast enough for you new setup, step on it
take your car to the newly reopened Angel Crest Highway, you will NOT be disappointed.
