How much of a difference did this aluminum bushing make in the steering response of the car? Assuming that your steering wheel input to tire response is more precise, did any road bumps harshness occur from this mod? Would you recommend this for a daily/sport driven (no track use) gs300? And if the results are great, can you make some more, and would you be willing to sell?

Please PM me the cost and pricing info.

i didnt track the car without it.. so i cant really make a statement but im pretty sure it helped to have a shaper steering response!

as for pricing i took my rubber one to a machinist and he made me one for 75-80 $..
