Default Steering Wheel Relacement

Has anyone replaced the factory bus steering wheel with one from say an IS250?

The standard wheel is just too large IMO and I am considering swapping it with an IS250 wheel if all the controls work (paddles excluded of course)

i dont think the controls will work with the sc430 wheel neither would the air bag...you can try though. I replaced the wheel on my 2IS with an ISF wheel. I already sold the other wheel if not id give it a try for you guys. Let us know how it goes cause I would love to switch out this wheel. Another thing too is you could get the 2IS steering Damper or one from the ISF which would make things a little better as far as the feeling of steering.

Thanks. I will try the steering damper first but the overall SC steering wheel is just too large anyway for my liking.

if you end up removing/replacing your steering wheel, ensure you disconnect the battery to prevent the possibility of the airbag discharging.

I can't find any part numbers for an SC430 steering damper. Does it even have one?
