Meh, both P/S and A/C are parasitic power drainers from teh engine. A/C only drains it when it on, P/S is always taking some sort of power... gains are minimal.

More or less, I removed it because I like the feel of it better. "More connected to the road" I guess.

Only when you're driving slow or not moving too fast. Taking corners at like 25 mph or more makes the wheel "fight back".

Any other time it feels very close to power steering in terms of ease, but the no P/S steering response is all there.

If you're ever in the Twin Cities, just give me a holler and you can try it out yourself.

Lol don't you just hate driving up there? I live down south, cutler ridge, everywhere else is hassle to drive around. You probably live in Kendell, I used to live off sunset and 127th and the traffic was horrible all day long.
