Choosing between the Asetek Aluminum Button Color Kit and the VRS Throttle Spring highlights the split between cosmetic personalization and functional hardware correction. One is a premium visual and tactile luxury for your steering wheel, while the other is a cheap, essential fix for your pedal feel.
The VRS Throttle Spring has a curved geometry that looks intentionally offset at rest, which can confuse buyers during installation. Furthermore, some users report the spring snapping after roughly two years of heavy use, though official customer support is highly praised for sending free replacements.
If you want to rid your Asetek wheel of plastic caps and do not mind the $89.00 price tag, the Aluminum Button Color Kit offers a beautiful tactile upgrade, though VR users can easily skip it. However, for VRS pedal owners, the $15.90 Throttle Spring is a must-have functional fix that directly improves your control on the limit.
