I think it depends on what you're doing with the car. I have no PAS and a quick rack - 2.5 turns lock to lock - on a Hawk with usually 205 front tyres on 6" rims. Really not great for parking/3-point turns etc., but once off and moving no problem at all; great feel at speed. If I lived in town and used it around town a lot I would be thinking of it. Castor/camber settings have an effect too.
Plus one Chris! And I run 8 inch on the front with 225*50*15's! You soon learn not to attempt to turn the steering wheel until the wheels are rotating! And yes, it improves with speed and has great feedback.Originally Posted by ChrisCar6

I can't comment on the feel or feedback yet as the car has only been driven a few yards in and out of the garage. The plan is to do a bit of experimenting once it is on the road/track with the suspension set up. The entrance to my garage and the fact other cars are on the drive means I inevitably end up having to faff around on what is a very grippy surface to get the car in and out. If it doesn't work out and I lose too much feel it will be much easier to remove the setup, than it would have been to add it after the build.
As soon as I can test it properly on the road or on the track I will report back, all I can say at present is its a dream to use at 1mph
Hmmm, prob best to set off for the 2019 AGM at Stoneleigh sometime in February then Dave
That took me a while, I need more coffee
There are LOADS of threads about corsa retrofits mostly on ford escorts and vw golf's. There are a few good controllers available to vary the assistance (they basically just send a false speed signal to the epas controller) some are better than others.... or you could fit a speed sensor to your car.
Fiat punto have epas too so maybe look at those too
