Odd steering/suspension issue?

So I finally had my bilstien pss9 coilsovers installed along with 17x9 enkei rpf1's with 245/40/17s on my first initial drive, it felt alright, not as good as I was expecting, but what I was worrying about was when I tried cutting the wheel really fast as if I was dodging something in traffic, it felt as if the steering was delayed and the lug nuts were ready to fly off. I'm sure there's some fixing I can do with the suspension, but I don't have much knowledge of "suspension tuning" and wouldn't mind some outside opinions on if this is normal or not?

Hard to say what that could be....check that everything is tightened up.

Did you get an alignment??

Alignment will have to be next on the list to get done, as I drove it more it feels better, but oddly enough with stock wheels and crappy 225/40/18 tires, it felt sharper and more direct with tight turning. But I'll try to book an alignment and see if the issue is resolved.

If you didn't get an alignment after a suspension install unless it is exactly the same ride height your alignment is going to be way off..

Especially the toe....I wouldn't drive it much until you get it done if you value your tires at all...

A poor alignment is going to make it feel like crap...so likely the issue you are feeling
