Short Hub vs. Standard Hub:
A short hub adapter positions the steering wheel closer to the driver than a standard (tall) hub adapter. For drivers using a smaller-diameter aftermarket steering wheel — typically 320–350mm versus the factory 370–380mm — a short hub helps compensate for the reduced diameter by bringing the wheel closer, maintaining a comfortable reach without requiring the driver to lean forward. The result is a more natural, connected driving position that’s particularly beneficial in track and performance driving applications where precise steering input matters.

Pro Tip: Pair this short hub with an NRG quick release (SFI 42.1 certified) and a 330–350mm aftermarket steering wheel for the complete cockpit upgrade. The combination of short hub + quick release + smaller wheel transforms the driving experience in any performance Honda or Acura build.
⚠️ Safety Note: Removing the factory steering wheel eliminates the driver’s airbag. This modification is intended for track and competition use. Consult local regulations before modifying your steering system for street use.
