The Litchfield steering mod is a different pressure spring in the pump, amongst other things.

On reading a little into this , it's the ( new mod ) state side , giving better turn response & feedback & is cheaper than sourcing a JDM quick rack / only came across blobs & Hawks having the conversion
Subframe needs to be cut slightly to enlarge hole diam & conflicting reports on using the 15 inner tie rods slightly cutting them down or swapping for GD items , but unconfirmed if they are compatible screw thread ( would have thought so tho ... I may give this a try over winter if I get bored
What's the price on the 15 rack rob if your watching ?

From looking on iwsti it appears that the 15 rack is a direct swap for the rack in the 08 - 14 cars and priced around 500 dollars .
