Anybody knows if swapping to an ITR fornt subframe would work on EK's???
or another way to get quicker steering?

would alignemnt be ok with the DC-EG front subframe?

thanks

 

Help!

 

What? swapping subframes? that's a new one to me. I've heard that swapping the ITR or LS steering rack gives you a quicker steering ratio. For EK on the other hand I've heard the 00-01 Si rack will do the trick. Not sure if the Teg one will fit onto the EK tho.

I don't think the 99-00Si rack is any faster than the DX Powersteering one I have now.

Can anybody confirm that the EG-DC front subframe will fit on the EK or not???

Thanks

 

They are the exact same frames, i would only take a wild guess, but i am sure it does...
my bad did read he wanted to do it on an EK
NEVERMIND>> no workie

Again, are you sure it's not possible?

Then is there another way around this? maybe with some CTR parts??

 

Subframe from the 2 cars, EK & DC are totally different. It will NOT work.

Anything off the CTR will absolutely not work either, Right Hand Drive. I found out the hard way.

However, Mr. Shin did mention you can use a 99-00 Civic Si steering rack. It does have a better ratio (just slightly).

 

tru dat

 

do you have steering ratio numbers to compare to: EK manual EK power steering, 99-00 Si powersteering, GSR, Type-r.

Is the 99-00 Si close to the ITR???

 

I owned a new 00 Si, the slow steering was one of the biggest drawbacks to this "sporty" car. I would pass on hoping a 99-00 Si rack will be the solution.

Prior to that: 91 SE-R, 86 GTI -both much had much better steering ratios

20 years later, better late than never haha
