I'm running the same quickener as Randal had for autocross and I really like it. It is a workout at low speeds with 10" slicks but as soon as you're moving over 10 mph it's fine.
For 60 second autox's the quickners are perfect, no question. To me this is Stage 1. However, adding the electric steering allows you to be smoother.
My objective with any slalom was to set up a pattern and do it flat out, which is a serious workout with the quickner, without electric steering. When you're muscling through you can't be as subtle and smooth, which costs you time.
It was fun running the Medford enduro with a quickner, which is 60 serious corners in less than 4 minutes. If you're not in great shape your arms will go numb after two and one half laps.
My Stage II for steering would have been an electric unit for 222, but with the D Sport I probably won't need it given the lower weight of the car.
