Bumping this up, about how long does shipping take to get these?
And can anyone comment on steering resistance with this rack? More or less than stock? I prefer a quick but light feel, if makes sense. Rack on my 04 needs to go and I'm sorely tempted, but a bit concerned about things being too quick for the street. Thanks! |

bump... its that time again. I need to replace my rack on my bugeye STI and was wondering about these.
It looks like I need to make the whole thing meanin source the bellows, inner and outer tie rod ends? i had terrible luck with Moog inners and it ended up ****ing up my 2005 LGT rack so much so where I'll need to replace that one as well... back to the bugeye... since its a quick rack and requires no modification like the 2015's to fit this seems doable but the cost is up there for an uncomplete rack you know? I sent them a message this morning, my time. I hope they respond quick. |

I got one recently for my 05 WRX since the slow steering bugged me. Way too expensive, but no other option that slaps on easily. Very happy so far. I got some Mevotech inner tie rods.

I may need to look into their inners then. I may just buy OEM inners and outers. We will see. this will cost a pretty penny LOL |

I bought the PRS rack last year for my '05 STI. It was a great, smooth transaction and the rack made a big improvement in the car. Swapping it out was a bit of an adventure, as my subframe decided to liberate two of the four captive nuts used to hold the rack in place, which was a lot of work and $$ to fix. But, that's not the rack's fault, that was a ****ty design by Subaru.
Once I had the subframe fixed, I really have enjoyed the faster rack. It took a little bit to get used to, but now that I am used to it, it's a huge improvement. I wound up buying all OEM inner and outers during the swap, they weren't too expensive and had held up well on the track. |

One thing to watch is to make sure you know which rack of theirs you need. My 05 WRX is 5x100, but I needed their "5x114" rack. I hadn't really looked at mine much so I didn't know the differences. The brief searching I did said that the rack style was changed over at some model year, possibly 05. The 5x114 version also requires for you to send in your old one for exchange.
I also had one of those captive nuts come off. Drilled it out and put in a helicoil type insert. Put in a Chase Bays reservoir/line kit also. |
