    Check your powersteering fluid level or check it for leaks! if you have much negative camber that'll also make the steering heavier!

    But lowering the front will add more weight to the front wheels so steering will be heavier..

    the size of your wheels added to the neg camber along with the lowering of your car all make it that bit heavier ste. plus you need a track rod end too dont ya....

    Yeah it could be the fact that its a big 4dr with a 6cylinder lump up front, did ya
    try putting your engine in the back??

    Ah no, maybe try a little less negative camber and if its not making much of an
    improvement then you'll avta put up with it, ha! I find my steerings heaving in the
    silvia too but thats cause iv a slight leak and 18x9.5's with alot of spacers and a bit of negative camber!
