Default Anybody know where I can get a Qualfie close ratio rack?

Just like the title says. I heard of the close ratio rack kit, but I can't find anyone that sells them. I know somebody on here has bought one.

Details?? I'm researching parts for a major suspension upgrade on my CRX. What'd you do for upper control arms, bushings, etc...stock/aftermarket??

BTW your K20 buildup looks sweet

I bought this off of ebay, it is new UCA's all new balljoints, everything. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...%3AIT

I also have a complete Energy suspension bushing kit installed, and a z-10 cross member. So it should basicly be like a whole new car, with the addition of the Quafie rack, not to mention turn and handle better. As far as suspension goes, I'm going with the SPS twin valve Konis on custom rate coil-overs. The build up is comming slow, been side tracked working on other projects.

You might already know, but you need a DX/HF rack for the Quaife. There was a post a while ago where a guy made the Si rack work, but it seemed like a lot more work than it's worth.

I dunno I thought the same thing, when I bought my UCA's for my beater. I tested them out on it first. 6 months so far and 20k, and they seem to be holding up well, even on my slammed suspension, and even after doing stuff like this:



Just reminder don't run z-rated rubber in the winter. beleive it or not, no damage!

I bought mine from kingmotorsports.com When i put it in I loved it, but it's been so long since i've driven a stock one that I can't remember how it used to be. It kinda sucks doing a Y turn now. Other than that It's great. make sure you change your rack end bushing out with a new one from honda, only a couple bucks- even if yours doesnt look that bad I would change it anyway.

Have you installed this guys kit yet? I ordered one and he sent me the wrong inner tie rods. They were for an EK or soemthing and were about 1" too long, so they couldnt be brought into spec. It took FOREVER to get the new ones from him. My CRX is my only car, and my front tires got destroyed because of this dude sending the wrong ones.

Just make sure they're the same as your old ones when you replace them. It looks like you have a daily, so that should help in the event you get sent the wrong ones

Thanks for the heads up. I hope he does send the correct inners. The car is far from my daily though. It's been sitting for 3 years now. I got disgusted with the entire Honda scene a few years back, and decided I didn't want to be associated with those people anymore. Stuff settled down now, not near as much ricers, and theives around here anymore. Now it's time to get the beast back together, and throw a K in it. I've been missing the car for some time.

Yeah I will I'm planing on running the IPS cams, and a few other mods too, should be fun. All of my arguing and bickering with Ryan about B vs. K is the reason why I'm doing it. It's nice to start out with 220hp, you can only go up from there.
