Like the title says, i'm looking for opinions on weather or not to install power steering. I have a parts car with it (dx auto hatch) and kind of like the feel of power assisted steering, but want others opinions. my manual rack probably will need an over haul sooner or later, as the drivers side inner tie rod boot is shredded...

 

power steering, air bags, and automatic transmissions are for pussies.
so are seatbelts.

 

we drive hondas....no powersteering needed lol

 

Regret taking mine out all the time.

 

if the car was full race, then i'de say take it out. but if its a daily and you just cruise with it, then why not leave it in? i have it in my sedan and i love it. i like being able to flip a bitch with one hand haha

 

agreed, but i like my seatbelts haha. power steering is dumb on an ed because it is so light, its not even hard to turn w/o it

 

Manual steering isnt that bad. Leave it.

 

lol i like my power mirrors. i agree about the auto tranny's and air bags tho.

 

Drive both and decide for yourself

 

power of your arms is all you need

 

manual rack = bigger guns (arms)= chicks digit lol. Ok no really i have had manual for like 4 years now...leave it...PS is cool if it coms with it but i would hate to have one more thing i need to check

 

Depends on what the car is for.

Couple reasons to use ps would be, daily driver that's not concerned with a 3hp loss or an autox/rr monster with large r-compound tires. I have a ps rack and subframe sitting here that will get installed eventually.

 

gonna put power steering in my winter car (89 dx hatch). that is about it though.

 

Manual is not hard at all to turn in a light car, and I prefer the feel of manual rather than PS

 

I personally prefer power steering, although I don't mind manual steering. But I do agree that it depends what your car is for.

If it's an all out race car, then I would stick with manual steering. If it's more of a daily driver or even a weekend warrior, and you got all the parts then why not go for power steering? (I'm swapping power steering into my CRX; already got all the parts).

 

if you have all the parts and you want it, do it. its all personal preference.

 

nahhhh

say no to ps

 

power steering is just one more thing that can break.
i forgot that speed limiters are for pussies too.

 

powersteering is cool!! ....automatic and ac is for pussies
airbags are alright

 

Honda power steering is way over boosted. You lose too much road feel with it.

 

i have gotten use to no p/s. its no big deal.

 

I have a 91 std hatch that doesn't have it, and a 91 rt4wd that does. I don't even notice a difference between them.

 

Easy answer, If your car came with power steering then leave it on. If it doesn't then you don't need it.

 

no powersteering! gotta keep the guns ripped

 

lol ok ok i get it. i have noticed that steering is MUCH easyer with an OEM size steering wheel
