> [@LZ](#): > > No this isn’t some gay autocrossing civic Edit, I misunderstood the response! And good, power steering is not needed in a car that is going to be light. My car gets a tad difficult to turn with 4 slicks on, but normally I don’t have a problem, even in tight parking lots. ---

I’m taking off the PS…however the car has 275s on the front now which will be a pain to turn in parking lots etc. The car will be getting 15 skinnys on the front and I have driven a F-body with those and no PS and its fine. ---
