VGS alters the steering ratio as speed changes. A 10 degree turn of the steering wheel at 20 mph results in a larger angle at the tire than the same input at 80 mph. Larger responses at slower speeds means less steering input/hand work, smaller responses at higher speeds means greater stability. To my knowledge it is a JDM exclusive and not available in the US.

But some of us here in the U.S.A. can't execpt that we can not have VGS




it is just a clone of a VGS car as good as it gets here in the U.S.A. with out paying out your nose for import fees and Fed. stuff

Japan offers the VGS model (Variable Gear ratio Steering) - the steering ratio is changed according to the car

NO sad to say, if you buy the wheel you will find that it will not fit. The splines on the VGS wheel are special made just for that car and the wheel will not fit any other S2K or any other car for that mater, sorry
