What did you do to eliminate the ps rack? Is there some kind of kit available?

I avoid this because that is one part of the chassis Honda been touting about. This ties the front and rear chassis together to provide the stiffness Honda S2000 is famous for. Sure some said we can add stiffness back to the chassis by adding bar, but you'll end up with even heavier bar. I suspect, if you take this out, there is a possibility you convert the S2000 to miata like chassis. Of course without computer simulation, this is just a guess. Being, I'm an engineer dealing with structures every day, I like to think my educated guess is pretty good. However, I can not say with 100% certainty.

No kit, but basically you gut the stock rack of the electrical parts and you'll wanna muck w/ the caster to get the steering feel you want. (nothing major).

I'm sure if you contacted shad and sent him your rack he could do it again.
