Was thinking about changeing my steering rack the other day (no reason bar I've never done it in the 9 years I've had the car).

Was just wondering wether fitting a quick rack would be worthwhile and wondered how much heavier the steering would become as a result.

Any ideas or suggestions peeps?

 

Got to admit they are stronger, but damn are the a biach when parking.

Burtons do em you can buy, and I dont think they are too step either

 

My mate has got one on his s1, with your 17s Oranoco it will make it hard work toturn at low speed, but on the flip side it quality when you going for it & surely must be a tool if you go on track.

The decision is yours............

 

What a bitch to change.

In theory very simple, not many bolts etc but what a pig.
I changed mine for a normal recon rack the other week, my mate managed to get ma a ramp at his work.

What a bitch to change, cant say much else lol

 

hehe easier to wait till you need a clutch and do it then with the box out.

it will steer fuckin quick at speed, have to be carefull for a while.

 

i's love one - worst thing on the s2 handling wise is the steering - but it's a daily driver so think it would be too stiff.

 

I have to go to the gym on a regular basis just to be able to work mine Once the car is above 10mph you cant tell the difference tho

I have about 4 somewhere as they wear out and go sloppy pretty quick

 

It changed the whole feel of the car when i had my quick rack fitted. I hated the amount of turns you had to give the steering wheel just to take corners and roundabouts. No problem now with the quick rack

 

If it aint broke dont fix it m8!

 

recentely changed for a quick rack and love it steerings a bit heavier at very low speeds but as above soon as you drive its spot on
