Default Quaife fast raito steering rack update...

Quaife will be contacting me today on the pricing for the racks. I will post the price here as soon as I have it. Ratio should be somewhere around 15:1 (2.75 turns lock to lock).

I will have to put down 1/2 the cost to get production started, so I'll have to get your $ before I put in the order.

I will get the approximate delivery schedule from Quaife when I place the order.

I will need at least 20 orders to make this happen, so tell your friends.

ATTENTION: In order to get this off the ground I've cut the price to $275, which doesn't leave me much margin on these things, but I really want to make them. Shipping will be $20 anywhere in the US.

noob ? for other idiots like myself who are going to view this thread.

does your turn ratio determine how fast you can turn your wheels or the diameter your car can create driving in say a circle dependant upon the ratio.

or in retard terms can a better ratio rack make my car flip a bitch w/o having to bust a 3 way turn on a two way street.

or will it just make my turn in faster for my 3 point turn?

The ratio needs to be something that they can make that won't overstess the pinion, so they make them at about the same ratio for all the ones they do...

I'll probably set up an online ordering spot on my website to take paypal, and can always take credit card info on the phone or by fax...

Outstanding info, I was just wondering about this today... Just let me know and I will keep my eye on this thread.

This maybe too early to ask, but what kind of guarantee would these racks have? These are completely new units correct? not rebuilds?

I am willing to place a down payment for an EG rack upon receipt of confirmation of order...

For which applications will this be available? EG & EK?
What will the pricing be? When can we expect delivery?
Is it an easy bolt-on mod?
