if you look closely, you can see the weakspot on the bag that suabru designed. it splits it half way and goes just underneath the star cluster

Cool, seems like as long as that was taken into consideration, it could be covered.

a like button?  well, there's always karma  :coolsmiley:



Its actually suposed to add to the driving dynamics of the vehicle...better steering response and so forth. (just what ive heard on forums and reviews)
I don't know if I missed it before, or just forgot....but I was looking again recently and heard that these are a smaller diameter wheel.  That would explain the slightly quicker steering response.  I've always thought the stock wheels were a little big anyway....especially when you jamb your thigh into it getting in at the wrong angle  :x

i would recommend this. ive drivin a subaru with this setup and let me tell you... ITS INSANE!!! 2 turns lock to lock. the response is very quick.

idk, id rather spend $500 on a column that i will greatly benifit from rather than a $700 steering wheel.

Got it, man i've never really had problems with getting in mine, just mainly a comfortable driving position for my knees...especially my in my old blob

youve got a great idea.....but they dont make any parts for my '11....

i dont want all these crazy race bushings and stuff like that. just a cool fun ride thats gott some cool shit. no need to go crazy with that stuff.
