i would say the dash pod would be the best. you can glance at it quickly enough and back to the road without much adjustment of your eyes focusing far to near and back again like the steering wheel pods or a pillars...particularly the gauges mounted at the top of the a pillar.

had the defi dash pod on my STI and loved it infinitely more than the a pillar set up i ran. maybe the dah relocation from gruppe-s would be similar to the dash pod in those terms but i have never used one.

I got an AEM Fuel Pressure gauge and an AEM UEGO A/F Gauge (both 52mm) mounted in a 'Masta-Minds' Dual gauge A-Pillar Pod. NO trimming, or 'adjusting' what so ever! Love it! It can be clearly seen, no issues! I have an Evo 9MR, so I ordered it with the tweeter cut-out. It comes painted and textured to match the passenger side. It looks like it came from the factory! I then moved my 'MR Gauges' up where the radio was located and brought the radio down where the gauges were located. All gauges and dash lights are matching, factory orange. Good luck with your decision! -Howard

Sure! I believe it was LancerShop.com/. Remember to order the 'Tweetwer Cut-Out' if your car comes with them! Also, choose what size your gauges are: 52mm, or 60mm. I have had this system mounted for about 5 months now and it looks and performs with perfection! Sorry, my digital camera is busted!! ;-{ . Best of luck!! -Howard

Isn't that whole reason to have guages...? So you can monitor your motor while driving? I have a Zeitronix box on my cloumn, and don't have the time to look at it while on the track. I was considering the A-pillar pod, but have read that it blocks vision, so now I'm gonna look into putting them in front of me on the dash.
