NRG Race Short Hub Black 2002-2007 WRX / 2004-2007 STI / 1989-2009 Legacy | Compact Quick Release | Steering Wheel Hub Adapter
Overview
The NRG Race Short Hub is a precision-engineered steering wheel hub adapter designed specifically for Subaru WRX (2002-2007), WRX STI (2004-2007), and Legacy models spanning 1989 to 2009. This hub offers a compact, race-inspired solution for enthusiasts seeking a quick release setup that prioritizes both function and weight savings. Unlike traditional short hubs, the Race Short Hub eliminates the horn attachments and standard steering wheel mating surface, resulting in a significantly lower profile and a streamlined installation for racing or track-focused applications.
NRG Innovations is known for its commitment to motorsport-grade products, and this Race Short Hub exemplifies that ethos. By removing unnecessary bulk and focusing on a quick release interface, NRG delivers a hub that is not only lighter but also easier to use during high-intensity driving scenarios. The design requires pairing with an NRG Quick Release system, ensuring a secure and rapid steering wheel removal and installation process without compromising safety or performance.
For Subaru owners who demand a race-ready cockpit setup, this hub reduces overall steering column height by up to one inch and cuts weight by approximately half compared to standard short hubs. This reduction improves driver ergonomics and enhances the tactile connection to the car, making it ideal for track days or spirited driving. Note that this product is intended for off-road and track use only, aligning with Subaru enthusiasts who prioritize performance and precision in their builds.
