Default Steering Rack Query

Hey guys,

I'm currently looking at a steering rack with a 2.9 ratio, I've noticed there are products that are 2.2 etc. Is the 2.9 rack a noticeable difference to the stock standard one? Or is it worth going for the 2.2???

Hey

most quick racks are either 2.2 or 2.5 and they are a noticeable difference between a standard rack

I have never seen a 2.9... but as a std rack is 3.5, not that much of a difference

I would go a 2.5 at least

Yeah I had heard of 2.5's so I'm not sure if this guy has it wrong or whether its just a 2.9

just checked a couple of places - this rack is from SMCKA Performance I would say.

maybe you cant get a 2.5 rack anymore, but I checked on fleebay uk and they have 2.4 racks from 115 pound ($180 ish), freight can be a steep depending on who they use
