I'm building the car for touge mainly but also want to use for dirft sesion.

can you explain a bit more about the steering arms?

how does it work to make the steering quicker?

hmm well i'll try, but ive never been the best with words, the steering arms from a p/s model are shorter so that makes them quicker to turn because the point your moving (tie rod point) is still moving the same distance but because its closer to the strut son it doesn't need to move as far to get the same result as before, i used to run this setup with 3mm rack spacers for decent lock but at higher speeds it can shutter because the angle of the arm is making the tie-rod arm go backwards, pretty hard to explain without a visual, anyway, its better to run the m/s arms with a big lock spacer like 24mm then you can have big angle and nice and smooth, but its not quick so then you buy the quick rack and you have a best setup IMO

 

and also shorter arms will make the steering heavyier, add some caster and it gets quite heavy, i've actually hurt my wrists switching at speed with big caster and my early setup

 

hope that makes some sence...

then i guess i wont do it

my car is basicly my dayly car so i can't put to much efort on making it for the track cause here we don't have any tracks.

so its basicaly for touge more than track
