getting more steering feedback.

[vrooom]

I noticed the steering rank is fixed to chassis by rubber mounts with metal bracket. That must reduce the steering feedback quite alot.
If i change the rubber mounting to soild metal brackets. Will it increase the engine vibration to the steering wheel.

Will i get more steering feedback due to less flexible mounting?

If so, where can i get metal or poly mounts from?

You'd be better off just fitting tyres with stiffer sidewalls and/or poly-bushes.

all little things add ups

Tyres & bushes will improve the handling rather than just feel different as will making sure you have the correct alignment

The standard steering wheel is also quite rubbery IMHO and should be the first thing to go, if it hasn't already.

Definately !!! I picked up a momo wheel(as seen on imports) from ebay for £35 in mint condition and bought a boss for £25. Made a massive difference and looks standard fitment

You aren't feeling the steering through the chassis though.

You are feeling it:

Tyres
Rack
Column
Wheel

I can't see how it is mounted will change anything (except increasing NVH)

Tyres, alignment and suspension make a huge difference

Anyone know if the MX5 and RX7 bosses are the same?
