Exclamation S2000 Racecar Steering help.

Hey guys I need some info. I'm looking shorten my gear ratio for my steering rack. Is there a kit for this? I also have heard the ap1 is shorter than ap2 can some one confirm this please.

Info on car : Race car - full gut no street use.

At some local tracks I go full arm lock and then some around some v corners. I want to avoid this by shortening the ratio somehow and then I can finally use a C wheel to give my giant legs more clearance.

Any help is appreciated.

The ap1 rack has a closer ratio, yes. Coupled with my 330mm sparco D wheel, I feel its perfect. Any closer ratio and it would be too sensitive on the big end of the track. There isn't a corner at the ridge that makes me run out of steering angle with two hands on the wheel. If your primary focus is dodging cones in a parking lot well under triple digit speeds, then you may have to do some further research.

00-05 are interchangeable (not sure on exact parts required):
00-03 ratio 13.8:1
04-05 ratio 14.9:1

06+ are interchangeable (not sure on exact parts required):
06-09 ratio 14.9:1 but different rack vs 04-05 (06+ has vsa sensors/etc)
CR ratio 13.8:1 but different than 00-03 (vsa sensors/etc)


the steering lock-to-lock is 2.4 wheel turns (13.8) to 2.6 (14.9)
