I remember just prior to release of the 03 that there were going to be some improvments in the steering response/feel. Does anyone know if this is really the case, and if so , what were the mechanical changes.?

 

From what I know...there was a steering change to tighten up the steering and a change in suspension for increased payload.


I really don't know the specifecs on how they changed either one mechanically.


Rocks

 

hmm didnt know about that one, probably just stiffer springs to help hold payload also might help in handling a bit.

 

If someone with an '03 could post the slalom and skidpad specs from their SVT supplement our questions would be answered or something.

 

I don't think the steering changes were expected to improve actual cornering ability, just were supposed to feel more accurate with more driver feed back and little quicker steering response(handling). I think the increased payload was just stiffer springs, which could affect both handeling and cornerng for better or worse. I'll have to try an 03 to find out I guess. Any one on here who has owned 03 and earlier who can provide an opinion here? Thanks.....Mike
