2012 Steering ECU Retrofit (2010 F)

Am I the only one who prefers really heavy steering?
From my brief time driving a 2012, I only noticed minimal difference in sport mode. There was a substantial difference in normal from my car. That said, I would really like to try it on track. Honestly with the stock 2009 unit, I hardly feel any difference in steering between normal and sport modes.
Also FWIW, the LCA bushings did make a noticeable improvement in feel to me.

I agree with torxuvin the better of the ECU's would be the one that makes the steering feel tightest heaviest and from what I gather it sounds like the older 41 computer is the best one for that feeling. Am I correct?

Was looking for any more feed back from the members who have done this.
Also did you guys get them at Sewell or Lparts?? I was thinking of doing a Toms diffuser but I would rather do something that actually helps feel. Was thinking of replacing the wheel as well

I think this will be my next mod. I hate the numbness at dead center. Its annoying. Just not sure if its worth the money and the time taking her in for the tech stream portion .
Compthis what do you think ?? Especially since you do tons of track time. Worth it ? Not so much ?

My friend with the Cayman drove the F the other night. He's driven it before a number of times and even once did a road trip with me from Atlanta to Dallas for a boy's weekend out supporting single moms. He said the steering is much improved with the very first turn we made above 25 mph.

I bought my 42 from LParts. they won't rape you on shipping like everyone else on the Internet, but their retail price is higher than everyone else. If you use the CL5 10% discount and their free shipping, they end up being the cheapest in the US by a pretty substantial margin. I shopped this item heavily before buying. It was $639.15 delivered to my door in Georgia last December.

i can definitely tell the difference between the F steering and my GS350. i actually feel more confident taking a turn in the GS, although i've only had the F for a day. if upgrading the ECU will make the F respond like the GS, i may just have to upgrade.
