Yes, the position can be adjusted, but only to a degree. If you put them too high, they would interfere with the "stalks" on the column. If you drive with your hands in the 3 o'clock/9 o'clock position though, you should be good.

There's also two different kits. One is made specifically for the OEM steering wheel.

Still odd, you would think they could make both of them fixed.

I think I prefer fixed for paddles. Anyway I looked into the vb, its too expensive for me. Ide rather spend that money on hfc and deal with the delay lol.

Honestly, you will get will get MUCH more performance benefit from a VB upgrade than HFC's. If finances dictate going with just one of these mods right now, I would recommend the vb upgrade first.

Oh I know hfc wont be a huge gain at all for the cost, its just that my job sucks at the moment so saving is hard. Ide get more enjoyment out of a louder exhaust for the time being. Maybe xmas money lol.

I feel you on that. I'm in the same boat right now. I'm getting my exhaust first then VB upgrade. BTW I'm getting the the Transgo kit which is $250 instead of the other one that cost like $800.

Im not 100% sure but maybe flashing the ecu might work but youd have to talk to somebody thats computer savy bout that

I love mine too. I wished I waited for the kit that works with the stock wheel though.
