It still doesn't appear to be that great of angle compared to stock. But just from me moving the car around in the shop it feels soo much better.
Knuckles are just strategically re drilled closer to the pivot point. Math science stuff. How do magnets work.

Its the OE steering wheel with a stitched wrap kit. Pretty common and affordable. Thinking about doing it to my bmw f30.
