Pros:

Steering feel, wheel return
|
|
Cons:

None

Best mod for the money. Increases the feel of the cars steering, allows the wheel to fling back into position much quicker, elimitates some steering slop, and also eliminates memory steer. Cant be beat for the money.

Great steering feel improvement
|
|
Cons:
|
install?
|

I didn\'t install these myself. They are a great improvment in steering feel. A little heavier, but much tighter. Not so much slop anymore. Another \"this is the way it should be from the factory\" mod.

Not noticeable to me around town but gave a more \"connected\" feeling on back roads. Definately worth the 45min.

one of the best cheap mods to improve steering, wish it came this way from factory.
These bushings with the 05 steering rack would be a dream.

after being advised to get the bushings, wheel play is almost if not totally non-existent...its wonderful to take an off or onramp and not have the wheel shake...steering response is great too

Cons:

One side is kinda a biatch to install

Much stiffer than stock. You probably won\'t notice it much around town, but once you start doing some \"spirited driving\" or auto cross you\'ll love it.
Install tip: I had to cut one of the old bushings off
I think it is the passenger side.

probably the best $30 you could spend on a mod.
the install was a bit frustrating, but a heck of a lot easier than the noltecs. or it could be that it was my second time doing it.
anyway they make a pretty noticable difference

I hear the install was a pain to some people so I forked out the cash and had it done so I can\'t complain about how hard the install is.
I noticed a big difference and yes it was sad that it does not come this way from the factory but oh well I feel bad for people that dont have these on.

This is a great mod for anyone who likes to make tight turns (hence autocrossing). I felt little if any difference in my daily driving, but you will feel the difference when making a hard fast turn. The install was a pain and it took a long time pushing that damn driver side bushing on.

Everyone was telling me to get these and I was skeptical. But I gave in and was suprised at the huge difference. A fellow WRX owner drove my car and the steering was the first thing he noticed. Well worth the PITA install.

Tighter steering, quicker response, better feel

Everone says how much of a pain in the butt these are to install...they're actually fairly easy. Taking out my old ones took about 5-10 minutes, and that included jacking up the car, etc. Putting them in was alittle hard on the driver's side, but the passenger side was a cinch.
I paid 27OTD and shipped to my door from MPJ. These tighten up the steering and get rid of the slop you might have, the wheel snaps back to center quicker, and it gives an overall better feel. Good deal and a good mod for those that are interested in the little things that make your car funner.

I bought my car used, so I was only really familiar with my poor steering response from the stock bushings. The whitelines got rid of all the memory steer, slop, and what not. Car handles great now, smooth and tight. Install on driver's side was a pain. Overall though, definitely worth the money and time spent installing.

Installed in about 30 minutse took longer to mount the brackets back in because I lubed up the bushings. Now I need to upgrade my sways.
