Hi everyone, not sure how to describe the problem but I'll try my best. My steering wheel feel very loose. Even after I installed a new H&R coil-over. The steering keep slightly going to the left and the right at high speed. I'm new to the P-car thing so I'm not sure if they are like that from factory. I do not have any vibration problem. Lets put this way imagine that when I hold the wheel at 10 o'clock and 2 o'clock I can feel that my steering going to 9:50 and 2:15. Back and forward at high speed like 75 +. Hope that explained right . Anyway, I was wonder if anyone have this same issue. Thanks much for your time. My is 996 Carrera C2 with 26K miles
FYI. GT3 sway bar will be next, hopes problem will be solve after installed new upgrade sway bar front and rear.

Reason: mileage were incorrect
hope you corner balanced (done by setting ride height) and realigned after changing to coilovers...sounds like you have some serious bump steer or an alignment issue
Do you have a wing in the back and still the base/stock non-aero front bumper?
You may need more downforce in the front.
My car was very floaty at 80+ mph with gt2 style wing on back and non-aero front, and this is with the (heavy front end) C4.

No I didn't get a chance to get it corner balanced nor alignment. I will do that this weekend. I hope that is the issue.

Actually my car come with an factory GT3 complete kit MKII with front and rear and side skirt. I thought about downforce too so I did order an GT3 cup front spoiler. Will see how it turn out after alignment. Thanks for your help.
i have a 99 c4 that does the same at higher speeds, it feels floaty. i posted a thread about this and got a reply that the stock bumper causes this lift?
