borgeson vs steeroids on a performance level

i'd love to know the opinion of people that have driven both the burgeson and the steeroids systems...and have some input on differences..

1)ive read that the borgeson allows normal short turn radius..and steeroids does not...

what other differences..

in overall driving experience...

my usage is a street driver with 1/4 mile track couple times per year...and auto cross 2x per year also... have the VBP suspension..

oh ..this is a 82..

thanks in advance !

I have the steeroids in my car and have for a few years. Light years ahead of the stock stuff. I just put in a Borgeson unit in a car I am working on. I like the simplicity of the Borgeson and the plumbing better than steeroids. I just drove it around the neighborhood and it felt very good. I currently have the suspension back out of the car so I can't give a full blown evaluation but I think either system is a big improvement over stock.

I've had both. On a street driven car you don't feel any difference at all.
First in was steeroids and as mentioned before the brackets look under engineered. I then switched to Borgeson (recently) due to legislation conformity and everything just looks right 'proportion wise' as nearly all components are stock parts. I even prefer the rag joint over the U joint connection.
It's as quick and responsive as the steeroids. (for less)

I just drove with my new Borgeson box yesterday. I noticed the quicker steering ration (12:1 vs. 16:1). I do have a tiny leak at my ps pump but I can fix that later.

So far, I like it. I had a rebuilt stock p/s setup before.
