on the HKS kit, raising the car a few mm front and rear recovers that numb feeling you described... most cars that get lowered for appearance suffer from a slower feeling... if you're already messing with suspension, an alignment is a given and will also help the way the car feels. a few track guys and myself are running higher than HKS otb setting.I am running the HKS height Adjustable Sleeve over's, The springs have a higher rate. Doesnt matter because the car had the same bump steer anddddd Numb steering feel before the upgrades. Now with the upgrades...car is enhanced, feels tighter but the issues are still there. No reason to go deeper into modifying a car in my case if the steering is NUMB and Bump steer is there. The entire Subframe in the car needs to be reworked. SPL Kinematics will help but to a certain degree.
Like you said, "this car isnt meant to be seriously tracked out of the gate" - This is somewhat true, but ive been tracking cars, different cars for over 16 years now and this platform is not the best out of the box by any means! Mazda Miata's out of the box, especially the newer RF's are Leagues ahead from this chassis when it comes to how a car should feel on the circuit. Even the Subaru BRZ/FRS feel much more livelier, you can FEEEEEEEEL what the car is doing....that is what its about!
