Feels like my steering is heavier when rounding a left hand bend. When turning right/cornering right the steering feels lighter. Anyone else notice this? My alignment seems fine.. maybe pulls right just a touch sometimes, but I attributed that to the crown in the road. Anyone else notice this?

I definatley feel that on certain type of roads. Maybe its the roads I dunno. I felt that with stock suspension and now with coils and new alignment.

Sounds like a normal steering reaction to roads that are "crowned". When I lived in Ohio, many of the state routes were extremely crowned which caused a similar steering feel to what you are experiencing. Interestingly, the Tennessee (where I live now) state routes have very little "crown" or no "crown" which has an opposite effect. So, I hope this helps ease your mind...

Thanks for the responses, It probably is my imagination. I've noticed this feeling more in my later cars with electric steering than I used to with the old hydraulic racks. And NOOO nascar option here! lol
