Over inflated tyres?

Could be as simple as tyre width? More grippy rubber = stiffer steering?

Knackered or bypassed VSS would cause over light power steering.

Same alloys as the black one
Standard saw blades

Fronts are yokohama I think
On black one it was Bridgestone all round

Can't see it making this much of a difference though, unless my PS pump was bullocksed on the black one

Seems to be normal at under 5mph or stationary so parking feels the same
But above say 10mph it's ridiculously light in comparison
Deffo feels closer to the ep civic steering

I would say that any difference in feeling can be put down to wheel alignment. A lude's feeling should not be too light or too heavy, if it is one or the other more than likely there is something up with with the wheel alignment.
