Steering rack: normal or quick

Hi.
MNR sells a "Quick Rack Kit ( shortened to your requirements)".
What is your opinion on using a quick one vs. the normal one?

Thanks in advance,
Joao

I have the MNR quick rack and I have had no problems with it. I admit I've only driven it to and from the SVA and MOT centres but it seems fine.

The steering is only slightly heavy at, say, 5 MPH witha 15" sierra wheel and once moving along is just fine. That said, it is lighter than a Sazo with manual steering. If you were to fit a smaller wheel then it will be heavier.

The up side, I am told, is that you get sharper steering responses; something I haven't had the opportunity to evaluate myself.

The main reason for using a quick rack is it can save your bacon when the tail steps out.

Quick rack all the way for me Joao. I cant recall the turns of standard and the quick rack but IMHO its a very good improvement.

Yup Definately a quickrack- transforms the car and, as already mentioned can help arrest unanticipated back end slides!!
