Sim racing · head‑to‑head
Asetek SimSports offers two entirely different upgrade paths here: one is a budget-friendly mechanical tweak to soften your braking, while the other is a premium utility adapter to integrate third-party steering wheels. Choosing between them depends entirely on whether you want to fine-tune your pedal feel or expand your steering wheel options.
The Quick Release Adapter has delicate connection pins that can easily bend if you snap the wheel on without manually pulling the release lever. Additionally, the mechanism can bind up during detachment, and you must source your own nuts for its threadless mounting holes.
The Long Travel Kit is strictly designed for the original T.H.O.R.P. brake cylinder. It is not compatible with, nor is it needed for, the newer T.H.O.R.P. 2 system.
If you own the original T.H.O.R.P. pedals and want a bit more travel for rally driving, the $15.99 Long Travel Kit is a cheap, subtle tweak that has remained unchanged in price for 90 days. However, if you want to run third-party rims on your Asetek wheelbase without messy cables, the $129.00 Quick Release Adapter is an essential upgrade, though its price history is too short to judge a trend.
