Default 08 steering improvements

There has been mention of how much more responsive the 08 steering is. Does anybody know what the changes are? Is it some parts that can be swapped into earlier ones or would it involve ripping everything out (which would not be worth it), but if it's maybe just a few parts........

No idea, I am hoping the next wave of mags (or rags) will have more info on this.

Me, too. Not that I dislike my 2006, but better is better.

No need to wait for the magazines, the best/most detailed and accurate info on the topic is still found HERE, I've seen and absorbed it already but am just too lazy right now to do the search (some info is here in C6 Tech but the good stuff is in C6 General) for it but feel free to do just that if you'd like.

It's not a simple parts addition/subtraction that can be easily applied to the earlier cars, it's major stuff involving the whole rack/steering system.
