steering ecu, does it make much of a difference?
just wonder what are the difference between the stock steering and when you put an l-tuned steering ecu into your car. does it make that much of a difference?

Depends on the year. 2002 and 2003 GS430 models already have it - 2001 GS430 is open to debate. For sure the GS400s don't have it - I think .
Many people detect better feel at highway speeds - some have said that their low speed steering has lightened and the highspeed has firmed up.
My ECU is for sale (I have a 2003 GS430 and found out the hard way that it already had the ECU) - PM me if you are interested.

In my 98, it did.
You can also ask your dealer to tighten up the "pre-tensioner" , before the ECU install, and see how you like that. I have both, and my steering is heavy by comparison to the other GSs I've piloted.

Find out where that pretensioner adjustment is for me will ya? They won't do it any more - they claim it only applied to 98 and some 99 cars and that it was more of a part replacement. I'm dying to get my steering tightened.
Thanks,
Doug

To answer you guys question. the steering pretensioner is in the rack itself , I had it adjusted a while bax and I have to say that it does make the steering feel much better at both low and high speeds .now my next upgrade is the steering ecu and it should be even better .
