Seeing how many of the other threads are getting plugged up with the same old conversations, I figured I'd throw out another to occupy our time while FFR slowly leaks out trickles of information.
The concensus is that Subarus generally have slow steering - outside a very few later models. It's also a safe bet that there is not going to be a FFR provided custom rack. So the factory rack from the donor is it.
Also the prototype chassis is using the donor front knuckles/hubs, so the 818 isn't likely to have 'faster' steering than the donor. That being said, I have never had a feeling of too slow of steering from either my '02 WRX or my early Legacies - even when rallycrossing (no autocross for comparision).
I'm guessing the extent of the 818 kit will be a sheet of "Rack depowering instructions".
There are gearboxes that can be fabbed to the column to speed things up, and there is at least one company that makes a faster Subaru specific rack ($$$).
Thoughts?
