Default Front BS kit="heavy" steering and EPS light?!?

I recently lowered the s2k. I installed the megan front bump steer kit to help align the inner tie rods after being lowered. The question is there a minimum height you need to lower it?

The reason I ask is because I have a modest drop, nothing to crazy. I am assuming the bump steer kit may be putting to extra stress on the inner tie rods and causing my steering rack to act up. By act up I mean the steering can be very heavy at times, similar to losing power steering.

I also had the EPS light come on for a second then go off. Has anyone else heard of a similar issue?

NOTE: none of these problems occured until after the front bump steer kit was installed.

Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

How much camber are you running? Did you get it aligned?

Seems to work after I reset the steering rack. Lets just see how long it lasts though...

I have a feeling I need to lower the front end.
