I run Stage III, it's good with a stock sized steering wheel, really no noticable effort needed, but something custom or TUFF wheel style, takes a little effort,....but the improvement in feel/turning/handling is greatly enhanced,.....you won't feel like your at the helm of the Titanic anymore trying to turn FWIW, a lot of guys that went stage II, felt they should have opted for firmer (III) performance

I second that (I don't own one, I have a rack & pinion setup with a Tuff wheel on a RMS AlterKtion on one car, and a stock setup on my other Chally).
I tried the Stage II box on a friend's Chally which has just been restored (the front-end was completely rebuilt). It feels too light in my opinion (steering is still possible with my little finger, which I always find scary at speed).
I used to have a manual box before I switched to the AlterKtion, and all I can tell you is "Don't be afraid to get a Stage III, there's a loooooong way to go between this and a manual box".
I will most likely replace the steering box in my convertible with a Stage III.

I bought a Stage II box, installed it and it leaked badly. Called up Firm Feel, and they gave me the sunshine treatment.. Told me to send it back in @ my expense, it would take about 10 days to check it and return it back and no compensation for labor to R&R it. They were very arrogant, offered absolutely no customer support.. To say the least I wouldn't recommend them or their products.. Just my $0.01..

I used Steer and Gear. Stage 1. it is a HUGE improvement over stock power steering However, If I had it to do all over again I would get stage 2 and that is what I would recommend to someone else... I have no experience with firm feel. My

I have a stage III and it's great. Nice firm feel at highway speeds and can still turn the wheel with one finger parked. If they had a stage IV I would go with that on my next car!
Same here. Love my stage III. I heard if you ask they do have a Stage IV.
