will steering effort decrease noticabily between a 250mm and 330mm?
 

Just curious if anyone has a comparison to offer.

Should be. I can notice the difference between a 330 and 350 steering wheel. Without power steering.

really, that is fantastic news. if the alignment doesn't help, a new wheel is plan B. thanks!

...put power steering back in the car?

I can't stand 330mm wheels. 350mm feels perfect. I think I'd just refuse to drive anything with a 250mm wheel.

Being able to steer the car with one finger is not what I have in mind for MY track car. I won't go so far as to say I will NEVER put ps back on but I will certainly not do it anytime soon with the memory of PS still fresh in my mind. alignment, larger wheel, manual rack, ps rack seal removal etc. Im more interested in fun, feel and making incremental improvements so in the mean time I'll just work a bit harder in the turns.

If napkin math is correct, then a 10 lb steering force on the 330mm wheel would feel like 13.21lbs on a 250mm.


I am really happy with my Nardi Deep Corn 350mm with factory NB manual steering rack.

Using a 300 wheel due to removable cage...
Force is not the issue, the precision is.

I've got more slop in the lash of my rack than I'm worried about with my wheel diameter. Depending on alignment/caster settings, it might put up one hell of a fight using a tiny wheel on uneven surfaces.

If steering force is not an issue and you need more precision....

Or steer with your right foot.

There is a very noticeable difference between my 280mm and 350mm. 280mm with power steering gives a very nice weight.
