Stock FD wheel is probably the biggest crap I have ever felt.

I changed mine to a 330MM Nardi. with a Works Bell quick release.

anyone have any experience installing a 99 spec steering wheel?
i heard those are smaller and have the benefit of coming with an airbag.

I'm using the Momo Commando R to help create some space between the bottom of the wheel and my thigh.

The lack of space is my issue. hell having no adjustable column is a bitch and then some. I am also considering modifing the seat lower to increase the space but @ this point which of the two options is less pain in the a@@ is the real issue. NICE choice on your S-wheel.

The easiest and first thing to try is a smaller steering wheel with some sort of spacer (that's where a quick release adapter can help is also doubling as a spacer).

The wheel that Mahjik has is great for racing. Really improves turn-in and adds a lot of effort that the over-assisted power steering needs. The stock wheel is a 380-ish mm. Going down to a 350mm will increase effort and turn in a bit less, but you'll be able to see at least part of your gauges. That;s improved iof you have the quick release, since it spaces the wheel closer to you and imroves your in of sight to the gauges a bit.

Good point Gordon. I should have added that unless you are road racing the car there really isn't a need for anything smaller than 350mm.

Im pretty sure all the major steering wheel companies offer CC attachments. Afterall you can get CC installed as an aftermarket option as well.

Is that 320mm? As my friend says, the stock one might as well be horizontal, it could feel like you were driving a bus.
