Default RSX-S steering wheel in my EM2!? Is it a good upgrade??!?

Hi! I need some info, help! I want to know if its a good upgrade to do at an EM2 ? I found that the OEM steering let me feel like I drive a boat... I have a chance to buy an 2k4 RSX-S steering wheel + air-bag in mint shape, So, for those who have an EP3/RSX steering wheel in their EM2, let me know whats your feeling about that upgrade! Thank you very much.

I know that an EP3 wheel would be better look because of the H vs A. BUT, I cant find one at good price, and the only deal i have in this moment is an RSX-S.. But youv dont answer.. does put an EP3/RSX wheel is a good upgrade? Does the driving feeling is better with the new wheel? OR its just for the look.. Thanks guys!

If you get the rsxs wheel put a h sticker on it LOL. But yeah the wheel feels great. Its so much smaller and yeah driving feels great.

loll! Cool! Thanks for the info! For the sticker idea, it should be a good plan! Because I wont miss the chance to get an RSx wheel with air-bag in A-1 condition!!! Does the H and the A have the same form?

The H and the A are integral to the airbag unit, you can't swap the logos. You could put a sticker on them, probably. But that'd look terrible.

They sell a Honda sticker to go over the Acura emblem, it looks ok, but the Acura emblem wouldn't bother me. As long as it functions as a steering wheel...
