Default Solid Steering Rack Bushing Kit

Hi everyone. Just wanted to share and get feed back from competition drivers regarding this product. What do you think? Beneficial? Waste of $$? For Track only? For Street?

I think in the article, w/ google translation, the picture was showing their race car w/o the solid bushing kit so they added it to better the steering response.

I had the whiteline precision steer kit in my Evo and from what I could tell, it didnt make a HUGE difference. It was almost a feel-good mod, I felt.

A small 6-ton press will handle most suspension bushings. I bought a $75 HF cheapie long ago and use it for all kinds of things.
