The car reacts to steering input much better. Quicker/snappier in a sense turning in.

It does kinda make it so that you hit a bump on the left, you'll get some feedback from the right wheel.

In all, well worth it IMHO.

Search on the topic. There have been many informative and in depth posts on this topic, many of which encouraged me to install the mod. I did so before taking delivery and cannot comment to the improvement. I can say that the steering doesn't seem to bother me as much as the magazine reviews lead me to believe......

Great upgrade especially for the money-gotta luv group buys, and yes it's worth it and makes for sharper steering and smoother turn-in.

The Alu Kreutz gives you better feel for the road and initial steering inputs are more direct. This is a must have upgrade.

Absolutely worth it. I have a review thread somewhere on here that you should be able to find by searching.
