did you try turning softly or are little voices telling you to turn it hardly?

The steering wheel being harder to turn would probably be the result of your lowering the car and altering the suspension geometry. Caster is what typically gives cars different steering weights. The bearing in the camber kit would most likely just cause "popping" sounds when turning the steering wheel at low speeds, rather than making turning the steering wheel more difficult. Did you install the KW V3s and the camber plates at the same time?
