I would expect the heavier steering knuckle to impart a bit of heft but it's really not that big a difference on paper.

As I posted in another thread, I looked at the part number on the steering rack bushings on the '22. The number is 34112CC000. They changed the bushing. I don't know what they did as I didn't remove it. That part number doesn't come up in a parts search on the Subaru website.

My opinion on the feel of the steering is between 10 other folks aswell who tested all cars during the same day and time…so maybe we’re all being hyperbolic or we’re crazy……or there’s the difference in feel we noticed.

This was reported early in Japanese articles. That steel knuckles were used for better steering feel in the GR86. This was also laughed off in some other groups. But I had a Lotus Elise. Weight obsessed. Aluminum everything. But steel knuckles. No clue but find that curious.

A difference, yes. But you're being a bit over the top about how "OMG it's totally different and sucks"

Edit: I'll also add that my Evora had aluminum knuckles and it was obviously more comfort biased. But here's the real funny part. An Evora has better steering feel than an Elise. Swear to God. Best I've ever felt. So yeah. No clue lmao. Last edited by PBR; 05-04-2022 at 10:38 AM. |

I did a short drive in a 2022 BRZ today, and I felt that the steering wasn't as good as my 2018. Obviously lighter, it did feel less twitchy and less direct. Can't comment on outright communicativeness, but for non-10/10 driving I liked the old gen steering more. Also, on center feel was worse, with a noticeably wider dead zone. If the old steering rack is a direct fit, at the very least it should help with the on center feel.
This is interesting, and not the first time I heard that the Evora has better steering than the Elise. I haven't drove an Evora, but have drove an Elise and I will be really shocked to find out that any car can top the Elise for steering feel. I guess that if any car can, it would be another Lotus. Now I need to go find an Evora to take for a spin... |

I had 2 Elises. I'd take an Evora without question. It's so much stiffer. Why I'll always take an 86 over an MX5. They're very different but the Evora is the best sports car I've ever driven and my brother owned an E30 M3 and I've had a bunch of pure driver's cars like a 993/997/987, etc.

Evora is a great car to drive. Ownership? Yeah. Never again. Also lost a 997.1 to IMS bearing failure in 2017. Total write off. Evora is engine out to replace the clutch and stuff like that. Parts weren't readily available. And very expensive. Interior was falling apart. If you want to track one then pick a bank and rob it hahaha. Anyone see why I think the twins are just about perfect? If Lotus had made a small, rwd 2+2 I imagine it wouldn't be too far off an 86. The BRZ even has the 60's Lotus Elan smile just like the og MX5. Which is a straight up homage to the Elan.
