We also haven't touched on this but what kind of tires do you have? I have gone through multiple different brands and tires on my car and BY FAR the best ones have been;
1. Michelin PS2s
2. Goodyear Eagle f1 ds-g3
Too many times tires are skimped over and they are what gives you "feel" as well and the 4 parts of the car on the road. The 430 has pretty much every suspension mod except the Toms big braces and the tires made a difference in feel and I am much more confident with them.

I'm running 235/35/19 Nitto NT555 in the front. And 275/35/19 Nexon N3000 in the rear. I've gotta say, this combo makes alot of road/tire noise but they're pretty sticky! The rear end still breaks loose alot but the front is pretty stable. I'm changing the front tires to Achilles ATR sport in the next few weeks. My front tires are pretty much shot right now. Could shot front tires also lead to steering wheel shakes?
I had Yoko AVS 100s in the past, okay tire but not really high performance and I wouldn't get again. Advan's are pretty good.

Got my new Achilles ATR sport's mounted today and the car no longer shakes in the front! I gotta say, the car feel's alot more planted and stable with the new tires. But i've come to realize that the Nexen N3000 suck. They make ALOT of road noise.

I still have mine unplugged. The only time I sometimes get that hard spot is in the parking lot at very low speeds when you are barely moving, then turn the wheel from the immediately from opposite direction. At all other times mine seems to work smoothly with the more weighted feel. I think mine has been unplugged for over a year. Not for everyone, but after owning the BMW, it was better than stock for me.
