Default Need advise from DSE subframe owners

So I'm going through the never ending process of sorting my car out right now, and figured I might as well ask for some help/suggestions online.

First off, the good - I've got a complete DSE suspension set up and can't complain about the quality of the product at all. Without being sorted out, and right out of the box, the car has been able to turn in some respectable times at the track.

The bad - we're having a bit of an issue with the front, specifically with the steering. The steering wheel just doesn't want to return to center when coming out of a turn. It might unwind its self a hair, but the car would probably just go in circles unless I pulled the wheel back. It gets really annoying on the track because the car doesn't really provide any feedback. I've got to guess when to unwind the wheel. Its almost like steering a car in a video game.

Initially I thought it was an alignment problem so I took it to get aligned, but the problem still persists. Anyone have any ideas what is wrong. I can't imagine this is normal and all cars with this DSE setup handle this way.

In case anyone is wondering, here are the specs:
255 front 335 rear tires
Camber: -.7 º
Caster + 5º
slight toe in

Any help, first hand feeback, etc. would be much appreciated

Matt
