does lowering a car make the steering lighter or heavier?

kwik-fit they r a bunch of monkeys but they do it cheap.... although had to go back and moan coz they did it wrong, coz (dunno if theis applies to all corsa's) the front tyres have to be 'centralised' with the rear or something like that...probably bullshit coz they fucked it up but its ok now

just been to kwik-fit.
they say the cars too low for them to get the tracking gear on.
guy said it's a nightmare to check the tracking on a lowered motor.
what am i gonna do now? its only been lowered 40mm.

Don't goto Kwik Fit? Goto a proper garage who will do lowered cars.
I've seen plenty of lowered cars being done at Bush's near me.
Plus, Kwik Fit are shite, they took about 3 attempts to 'sort' the tracking on my Dad's Vectra, and it's still not right.
