sloppy steering inside

ok, my steering is a bit more sloppy then i care to live with. it may be because i had really really crappy all seasons from walmart on them before (so bad i got stuck in 1 inch of snow) and now i have 185/65/14 snow tires <not known for their stiff side walls ) but i have k-sport coilovers on and desipite what everyone thinks im very impressed with them, on bad roads things can get uncomfortable but most of the time its an ok ride.

i have replaced the rack bushings, im getting ES control arm bushings in the mail some time next week, i will be cross hatching them and installing grease fittings on the control arms so i will be able to keep them well lubed. i got used tie rod ends from fred casey should i invest in a set of inner tie rods?

as far as i have been told i bought my car with rear ES bushings installed, i have since found that these are the most likely to bind up/dri out, so im plan on getting news bushings and doing as i will on the front, cross hatching and grease fitting. or getting white line rear control arms. then ill need some better end links for my rear sway bar along with ES sway bar bushings all around.

anything im skipping?

No comment on the parts list, but I noticed that my old worn down summer performance Kuhmo's gave me awesome steering response. Until I mounted the new Kuhmo ASX all seasons about 6k miles ago. Now the steering feels like crap. Loose and vague; likes to wander a bit too. Price I pay for a 420 treadwear rating...

So yeah, tires are huge for steering feel. After I get out of school, and the turbo kit goes in, the sticky rubber will be back.
