So is swapping the rack definatly a good option? Im thinkin of putting the ek9 suspension on mine too, after winter tho...all worth while upgrades?
I wonder if it simply a tweak in the amount of power assist?
i can promise the EK9 Power assist is definitely geared down from a face lift VTI, I had the PS pulleys next to each other and the EK9 is definitely geared to have less power assist
Still havn't checked the lock to lock, will do next time im over at the unit!
Was there ever a definitive answer to this?
Interesting stuff, this goes someway to confirming my suspicions that the racks are infact the same, even though they don't feel it. When you check the LTL on both cars, make sure you get some rough measurement of the steer angle at the wheel. Same LTL could produce more angle on a quicker ratio rack?
If getting EK9 steering feel is as easy as swapping the pump pulleys over I think I may well be doing that!
Anyone got part numbers for both racks?
