New Firm Feel Steering Box!

I just bought and installed the new steering box in my 1967 GTX. I went with the Firm Feel because they have an excellent reputation and with a shop in Vancouver Washington it was easy for me to stop by and pick it up. These guys are exceptional. While I was there I got a chance to see the family collection of Mopar's. They were all Hemi's and half of them were race cars. Were talking generations of Mopar racers here. Anyway I was trying to keep the car original and these are basically original boxes. After reading the forums on steering boxes I had decided on firm feel stage II. I did notice that a lot of the guys are saying they wish they'd done with stage III which is the firmest steering box they have. Stage III guys love their boxes. So after a lot of thought I decided to go with stage III. Well it's in and I been driving and here's my report. I never liked how sensitive the original steering box was in the GTX. I knew I wanted something a little firmer. Having said all this and having driven the stage III I love it on the highway however in town I kind of wish I had just a little bit more power in the steering. If I had to do it over again I think I would've gone with the stage II. Don't get me wrong you do have power steering in town at slow speeds but it would be nice to have just a little bit more. Anyway with 85,000 miles on the car the old steering box wore out and now I can drive down the highway with one hand on the wheel. I can't say enough about the guys at Firm Feel.

I may be changing mine in the future...Thanks for the info !!!

One of the few companies that will spend time on the phone and answer all your questions.

I got a Stage III as well, still sitting on the K frame waiting for my motor. I hear what you're saying about low speed steering effort, however I'm hoping it's a small price to pay for the highway driving. And their customer service is unparalleled.

I have the stage 2 in mine and love it, did the upgrade about 15 years ago and all is good.

Thanks for the feedback! It helps to know which venders to go with!

Stage 1 here. One of the best upgrades ever. Straight and tight. Feels good at triple digits.

If you think the Stage 3 is too stiff, you'd probably NOT like how it feels with the Fast Ratio Idler and Pitman arms. Personally, I love it. I'm not a fan of manual steering due to the SLOW response, but I do like how manual steering cars require more effort to steer. The Stage 3 gives you that, the FR arms take it to another level.
