Has anyone here gone to the faster rack from an ap1?

I ask because i feel that my rack has some play. If im going in a turn and hit any unevenness in the road, the wheel will jiggle just a bit in my hand. The feeling reminds me of something loose. I had the chance to drive my friends ap1 and his steering is go kart sharp. When i hit the bumps i can just hold the wheel and it wont move. I am not sure if its the bushings on mine or what but i found a ap1 rack for a great deal.

 

The AP1 steering is silly fast. Even compared to my buddies Elise, my S2ks steering is ultra sharp and responsive. Some times, almost too sharp. I remember one time I sneezed really hard when driving and shook the wheel, which darted the car around!

Considering they went with the AP1 rack for the CR, I would say its a performance increase. The rack speed makes up for some of the lack of feedback. I would say do it.

 

IIRC 04-05 should be plug and play with AP1 rack, but 06+ would need a CR rack plus maybe some other bits but I don't remember what.

 

In my opinion, Elise steering is stupid slow. It's also a manual rack.

 

so from what i know as long as your car is 00-05 should be all interchangable, once you go to 06 with VSA you need to a CR rack
