Can i fit a Spec C steering rack to a 2002 STI?

Anyone know if these are a straight swap or are the racks from the later years different etc?

Should be a straight swap, and it doesnt need to be from a spec c, any STi new age quick rack should be compatable

Cheers Tony, i knew all the JDM racks were the quicker ratio, just said Spec C so everyone knew what i meant.

Ive heard some stories that the later racks were wider? Can anyone else confirm that they're a direct swap?

Cheer again Tony

Frayz the track is wider on the later models so I would asume that you would be able to fit the spec-c rack but the track control arms would have to be off an earlier model like yours.
