FirmFeel 2 or 3 box.. Help, need to order soon

[My9302002]

This is a follow up post to the previous.
Looks like I'm gonna go with a FF box
but can't decide between the 2 or the 3.
Car will be driven all summer, mostly highway.
I've searched the archives already... But
need more help. Anyone regret getting a 2
instead of a 3 or vice versa?
Thanks

Go for the stage 3, I got a stage 2 and like it. But if I did it all over again I would do the stage 3.

stear and gear 2,happy wit it,would not go with 3

Going to a smaller wheel like a Tuff or are you keeping the Titanic wheel?   

[My9302002]

Prob going with the tuff wheel

Is that with the Titanic wheel?  I'm debating stage 2 or 3 myself and am leaning towards 2 even with the 14" woodgrain wheel.

I'm in the same boat!

Gonna do the level 2 box....
Enough with the research, gotta make a move!

In the two cars I have SnG Stage 2 boxes, one has the Titanic woodgrain wheel, the other a smaller Grant wheel. Both have a good road feel to me.
Others still prefer a Stage 3. It's all about personal taste.

Bill what's your daily and how does it compare?

'11 Ram 1500 4x4.     Kinda hard to compare. I guess just for steering feel they are similar.
I've never driven a car with Stage 3, but when deciding on a box I just thought that if I went with something that firm, I might have well just put manual steering in it. When asking the companies about firmness, I just thought the Stage 2 was a nice balance between the two. It's definitely firmer than the "arms shot up with Novocaine" feeling you get with a stock box.
If you are road racing or a competition build well then I guess you might want the Stage 3. But for a primarily street driven car I thought it was more than fine. A nice improvement. Very pleased.

Big Ram huh     Yeah that's not the best comparison. 

I think that's all I needed to hear, stage 2 it is!  Thanks Bill.

Good luck!

In both my challenger and charger I got stage 2 FF. Now I wish I had gotten stage 3.

I have a FF stage 2. It's good, but if I did it again I'd try a 3. The 2 makes a big car like the charger feel like a new small to mid-sized car turning wise. I think the 3 would feel like a sports car which would be more fun.

I would love for my Charger to turn like my Honda.  I was wondering why some wanted to go to a 3 instead and I can understand the want for a firmer sports feel.  For a cruiser though I think 2 will be spot on.  Now all I have to do is convince myself to fork over the dough...

[Brads70]

FYI ...Stage 3 and the fast ratio arms in my Challenger. Works great!  

[johnnyseville]

I would seriously be interested in this setup for my Daytona, just have to decide 2 or 3.  Probably leaning toward 3 from reading what some guys say about having the 2 already, would be nice if someone I knew had one to try out.

So, it seems the Stage 2 and Stage 3 are the same price, $359??   Why would someone purchase the 2 if the 3 is better and the same price?

Question for the OP... did you get the 2 or 3?  Are you happy with your decision?

[twodko]

I have a 2 and am happy with it. Admittedly I don't know what the 3 offers over a 2 but if they're the same price compare specs and let that decide for you.

The 3 isn't "better," it's about personal preference and choice.  Some people like the more firm than stock stage 2, but others prefer the even more firm feel of a stage 3. 

My question is this:  why does an increasing firm steering wheel feel more "sporty" and "sportcar-like"?  Wouldn't an increasing firmer wheel be more difficult to manipulate and consequently be more difficult to turn rapidly?

I don't think the s3 is a harder turn necessarily, just less play in the system, ie., more responsive.

The FF s2 is great. The one in my Charger feels perfect for everything I do but the entire front suspension has been restored with boxed lower control arms, an FF reinforced k-frame and all new parts. That said I'm sure I would love the s3 too. If/when I ever build myself another Mopar I will try an s3 just to compare.

[myk]

Hmm...I'll probably have to go with the FF3 if I don't go with the Borgeson unit...

[70-500-SE-EXPORT]

I have the ff stage 2 and am happy with it. Huge improvement over stock.

[myk]

Could the stage 3 be seen as...."too" firm?
