More steering feel
Going to get 4 Michelin Pilot Sport 2's on Friday to swap for the Kumho's that were on the car when I bought it. Do you think this will help with the lack of steering feel I'm experiencing, especially on initial turn in? It's a MY03 STI PPP with no other mods.

I think you'll notice a big difference in fitting a top quality sports tyre.
I know it's not exactly a comparable car but when I used to have a Primera GT and did more miles I got through quite a few different tyre types and makes and there was a noticable difference in them all.
Even different tyre types but the same brand showed up some big differences. Once changed from Michelin Pilot Sports to the less sporty Michelin Pilot HXs and steering went from feeling more like a go cart (when up to temp) to a softer more limo like feel. This with no chassis changes and the car fairly new and unworn.
Hope this helps.
