I haven't noticed any particular lightness in the steering at over 100mph. Last weekend at the track I estimate that I did ~200 runs at over 100mph (twice each lap for ~100 laps cumulative). Car was firmly planted and rock solid. Front straight top speed was around 122mph and back straight top speed was around 115mph.

Like San Rensho I run the tire pressures the same all around so you might give that a try (easy and super cheap).

(I hope that it doesn't sound like I'm exaggerating, here is how I came up wth that number: six 30-min sessions over the weekend (plus two shorter sessions that I didn't count) = 180 mins track time divided by 1:45 ave lap time = 102 laps x 2 runs over 100mph per lap = 204.)
