Like someone said earlier, you can live without it. ...that is until you Try it! But once you try it, you CAN'T live without it anylonger. (and you'll be happy ever after)
So it is comparable to Active Steering vs. Regular Steering. You can lie without AS but once you try it you miss it in other cars.

I think you made a typo. The price on there is $329.99 not $239.99.

Most of us have gotten it through Andy from PartsExporter. Here's the link to his eBay posting: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Sprint-Boos...sQ5fAccessories

It's not much cheaper but it used to be a while back and I had worked with him on doing a group buy for this forum before for $240 shipped. Prices/demand have gone up since then. You should email him at sale@partsexporter.com (sale with the s) and see if he'd give you a bit of a discount.

Also, I might know somone selling his SB and I'm actually seeing him later at dinner so I'll ask if he'll sell it. What tranny do you have?

Yeah Its a Typo... Meant to say SB Sprint Booster. They don't break do they? Someone wants to sell me a used one?
Maybe it isn't used? Who knows, but i am after one.
Thanks. Dan

They shouldn't "break". It's just a wiring harness and I had one for about a year and a half without any issues. The only thing is you'd have to be gentle if you take them off and on often because of the pins but I've taken mine on and off several times and nothing has gone wrong.
