Default steering reducer/booster

Has anyone welded in one of these on their srt-4? I was thinking about a 1.5:1 to change the srt from a 18:1 to a 12:1. Any ideas on safety concerns?

I would love to tighten up the steering on my car - I can see the massive turning being a pain on the track and at autox events, and would like to improve upon the stock setup.

I didn't think they were speed sensitive.

I don't know why i didn't think about the smaller wheel, duh. They definitely tighten up teh steering a bit. But - how can I keep my airbag and do this? I still want the car as a daily driver, as well.

you cannot keep your bag with a new wheel...

You might could maybe if you got a stock wheel off of another mopar, but I cannot think of any with smaller wheels than neons...
