Steering Weight
Is it possible to adjust the weight of the steering wheel? or increase the feel on the wheel? i just thought the stock is a bit on the light side.

welcome to the world of Powersteering...... Your not going to be able to improve the feel of the wheel with out disconnecting the Pump, or if you can find one, make the pully smaller (I think its smaller, to under drive the power steering pump).

Rep Power: 260 I remember a difference from when I had factory wheels and tires. Camber kit also made the steering tighter. Guess it got more rubber to the ground
