why does my steering feel loose ?

i have JIC coilovers, and the car is corner balanced and aligned..

the issue im having is with steering feedback
it feels like whenever i agressively play with the steering wheel, it feels like the response is delayed

whats up with this ?

is it the awd system ?

ive driven RWD 996s and 996tts and it feels totally different

the car almost feels disconnected from the road

my friends bmw 330 is more responsive than my car

what do you guys think it is ?

if its the awd system, its coming off this week because i honestly feel like getting rid of this car at this point

Show us the alignment specs and the corner weight numbers.

Off hand, it sounds like lots of toe-in in the front.

Has this always been the feeling since it was corner balanced and aligned or is this a new issue that just came up?
