think the standard is pretty quick. You used to see these for MKII escorts that standard had like 4 full turns lock to lock. Think the scoob is about 2.5 turns. I think its a 900 degree turn which is what most fast road cars have. If you make it any shorter then you will have a car where you turn the wheel a tiny amount and the front wheels move a lot. At high speed this is gonna be scary!

only the makinen has 2.2 steering ratio dunno about the newer stuff they probly are 2 turns

could do with a 2 turn rack for my version 2 sti-ra rallycar
the std 2.5 turns isnt quick enough for me when rallying it doesnt suit my driving style
seen them advertised but at silly prices £900 ect

2 turns would be ideal, or perhaps 2.2. Shame they're so expensive
