Soft steering

[CrazyB]

I just did a full suspension rebuild on a 89 325i I picked up for cheap. I got new control arms and offset ca bushings billie sport struts and IE stage 3 springs. The car handles turns great almost 0 body roll my only issue is the steering is really soft. There is alsmot no feedback. It is like tittering a bus. Any suggestions how to tighten up the steering a little, should I get the tie rods replaced/
Will i need to do aliment if I replace the tie rods?
Also will tie rods stiffen up the steering and give it more feedback?

To get more feedback from the steering wheel (on the cheap) remove the power steering belt. The other solution is to replace the rack with one that has a lower ration (like an E36 or Z3 rack).

If you replace the tie rods, the front wheels will need to be aligned.
