Stock FD wheel is probably the biggest crap I have ever felt.

I changed mine to a 330MM Nardi. with a Works Bell quick release.

anyone have any experience installing a 99 spec steering wheel?
i heard those are smaller and have the benefit of coming with an airbag.

I'm using the Momo Commando R to help create some space between the bottom of the wheel and my thigh.

The lack of space is my issue. hell having no adjustable column is a bitch and then some. I am also considering modifing the seat lower to increase the space but @ this point which of the two options is less pain in the a@@ is the real issue. NICE choice on your S-wheel.

The easiest and first thing to try is a smaller steering wheel with some sort of spacer (that's where a quick release adapter can help is also doubling as a spacer).

Good point Gordon. I should have added that unless you are road racing the car there really isn't a need for anything smaller than 350mm.

Im pretty sure all the major steering wheel companies offer CC attachments. Afterall you can get CC installed as an aftermarket option as well.

Is that 320mm? As my friend says, the stock one might as well be horizontal, it could feel like you were driving a bus.

Airbag light is off, horn works. The Daikei (Works Bell) hub has provisions for both (resistor for the airbag sensor). The NRG Quick Release also has provisions for both.
