Do you want the ultimate in direct steering feel and control? Do you want to feel the road through your steering as you carve the corners? Then the Garagistic E30 BMW Solid Steering Flex Coupler (32311153993) is the part for you! The OEM BMW flex coupler is made from soft rubber and is designed to help soak up the road limiting the feedback transferred to your steering wheel. While this may be desirable for a soft ride most of us prefer the feeling of the open road as the car performs as it should! Not to mention the OEM units are now some 20+ years old and most are showing their age causing sloppy steering response, limited feedback, and in some cases may even be failing to the point of being unsafe! Fix all these issues all at once by upgrading to the Garagistic E30 BMW Solid Steering Flex Coupler (32311153993).Our steering flex coupler is made from a choice of Solid Delrin or Billet Aluminium providing a precision fit and the ultimate in steering response and feedback. By eliminating the flex at the steering coupler you can experience a more direct turn-in and better feedback with the road and how your tires are performing in a corner. This is crucial for any track, autocross, or even spirited driving car. Feel the road and replace your worn out steering coupler with the Garagistic E30 BMW Solid Steering Flex Coupler.
