Busy weekend! Great additions to the car. I've read some great reviews on the USRS, and the ergonomic steering wheel definitely helps out, especially at the 6 o'clock position.

yea it was pretty busy ...the USRS is a must in my book if you haven't changed ur bushings i suggest you get them the car feels a lot more balanced when breaking and steering is firmer i love it ...as for track use i can't I've never tracked my car but i have read good reviews on track use and i believe the have an updated version for the track junkies

I checked out their site and saw that they have an all leather version currently on sale for $399. That's pretty tempting, but I need to put some money into my recently acquired pick-up before winter.

The car pulls harder and feels less restricted. ..it pulls a little more from bottom end and a lot more at mid range and WOT..as for hp I would have to dyno it to confirm. I don't want to go off my butt dyno ..but you will feel a difference I have since then put around 175 miles with no problems
