Default Always too light!

I changed really a lot of things on the car and it is still light on the steering wheel too much and it doesnt feel like you are connected with the car! I have a lot of GroupN bushings( maybe all the bushings on the car are changed), 22mm sways front and rear, endlinks, coils, alignement...but i still dont like it at all! Any thoughts about what will make steering heavier? I heard some people are doing something with valves regarding the steering system?? What about 13:1 steering rack?

The sti's come as standard with quick racks.
Have you had a chance to try anyone elses 08 sti's?? At a meet maybe?
Might just be the way the racks feel on these cars.
You need to eliminate this first.

There are maybe 1-2 GR STI in Serbia next to mine and only a few later models. So all together there are less then 10 STI in whole country so i havent driven any other STI and i dont even know anyone that owns STI

Pretty sure the light steering of the Hatchback STI is a common complaint with them, many owners have said their old Hawkeyes had better weight & feel. I would talk to Litchfield imports, Iain is currently doing testing with the new T25 car & may have a fix for your problem.
