Modify steering ratio C43 AMG
I believe when I ask about steering ratio, everybody tells me the car (2017 C43 AMG) has it, but then they tell me the steering wheel gets easier or harder to turn in some cases. THAT'S NOT STEERING RATIO!!
Anyways, can it be done? Does anyone have prices/options? I would really like to go down to 7:1 maybe? Just get the car very responsive when/if I want. Either variable steering ratio, or permanent lower steering ratio.
If anyone can help/share some stories/give some advice, it would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Gabe

Bear in mind if you change the steering ratio then you will create a ESP problems as it uses the steering angle as an input to detect understeer/oversteer among other things. Unless there is a factory rack that can be coded to the relivent control units you're out of luck.
It's not like older cars that you can easily change steering rack/box ratios.
