92/95 is 19:1, 96/00 is over 20:1....

sorry, dc2 integras only bolt into the 92/95's. the ek does not have a faster rack that is cheap/easily installed.

you heard wrong. all dc2 94-01 including the itr is 16:1, 2.98 turns lock to lock. as far as putting it in a ek, it is a lot of work, and not worth the overall effort. might as well go custom then.
