you never asked before :P 

I have no idea of the Ion had EPAS.. perhaps the alignment was funky, bad engineering, who knows.

all the mustang guys are happy with the swap even a few that take there's to the track.
If I was to do it again I would do a toyota epas can bus  ;)

Naturally I'd look into what the Rx8 had :).. I know they had a tight, responsive steering.. I'm not sure if theirs was powered by a motor or by a big electromagnet.. I seem to remember something about that but can't be sure.. Been too long now
