just do it mate. I was in same position. Jack the car up. rip off the 4 bolts blocking the rack in. Undo the pipes off the track. undo the UJ, then undo the 4 bolts where the rack bushes are and pull it off. track rod end are easy to drop off to.

It was much easier than i thought it would be. 2 people really helps tho!

Go for it. If u get stuck gimmi PM and ill see what i can remember

Sorry to play dumb but where did you get the JDM steering rack from? I can't seem to find anyone who will suply it for love nor money. It is refurbed/new/used?

Thanks!

Classic JDM quick racks are like rocking horse ****, you cannot get them at all the wrx ones are bog standard ones and then the STI's normally have the fast rack's, the same as on the P1.
