first things first make sure both inner and outer tie rods are good(I had to replace mine, honestly didn't make that much difference even though the joints were knocking)
once those are changed, given you own a dc2, consider flipping the upper control arms to gain more castor(I had to buy upper control arms with both castor/camber adjustment since I had an ek) this made a moderate improvement in feel and response
check your bushings on the steering rack, usually they're okay but you never know, and I came across a kit cheap so I bought it anyway
I ended up doing a full bushing change all with hardrace items and new lower ball joints on the knuckle too which made a moderate difference
I went as far as tracking down some dc2r top hats to have the solid bushes in them to use with my shocks
I tried to adjust the rack guide but it didn't make a massive difference if any
smaller than stock steering wheel helps with feel too
last but most important, get a good alignment and make sure it's done properly. if you had a bad alignment steering will be light and vague
I gave my alignment guys specific alignment settings and got a print out to make sure they followed my settings
keep in mind though, from factory they have a tolerance of 10mm and the rack is pretty vague most of the time
the dc2 is something like 3.8 lock to lock whereas something like my evo is more like 2.2 lock to lock so the steering feels much more responsive with less input
