JMortensen Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 The popular one is the Subaru rack. If you search "subaru power steering" I'm sure you'll find some threads. The electric is the go to now, but I'm not convinced it's the best answer. I've heard racers complain about dead feeling steering, and that is certainly the case in my Kia which has it. If you just want to steer in parking lots, it's an easy out. I have a custom Woodward rack. Was expensive and required lots of fabrication to the front xmember, but I love the way it feels and I love the 75% faster than stock ratio I ordered with it. I can go through entire autocross courses without having to move my hands on the wheel. Here is my thread on it: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fusion Posted October 29, 2019 Author Share Posted October 29, 2019 Thanks guys. Since power steering pumps are an easy add on an LS, any reason to not do the Subaru rack? For those that have done them, did you have to restrict the flow? Any good step by step write-ups? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Oben Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Manual steering on my LS swapped 240z, my wife drives it no issue. No big tires though. The only thing I'll say is power steering could get in the way of the AC compressor if running the JCI stuff. HTH, Richard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
