Metal2You Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 The STi steering rack is more sensitive than the LGT rack, correct? Will the STi rack fit in an LGT without any problems? What is the part number on the STi steering rack? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 08+ would fit. But it's pointless because it's exactly the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praedet Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 ^^^**** you and your facts But its STi yo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitetiger Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 on a side note, the 2.5i and the gt/sti racks are different. so 2.5i people could upgrade to a gt or 08+ sti rack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 So is the rack in OBXT... slow. JDM STI gets 13:1 rack vs. ours 15:1. RHD so won't fit of course. But there should be aftermarket options for our cars now that 08 WRX/STI share front clip with Legacy. But these tend to be very expensive ($1k+).

Spoonwacker Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 I remember reading an article back in '04 comparing the OBXT to the GT and they actually liked the slower steering rack on the XT sorry...this forum practically blows goat nuts so im not always on here.Team Pony Express POSTED FROM MY COMPUTER USING A WEB BROWSER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I remember reading an article back in '04 comparing the OBXT to the GT and they actually liked the slower steering rack on the XT I am sure they liked suspension better, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spec B Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 08+ would fit. But it's pointless because it's exactly the same. amazing...my buddies stock 06 STI steering seems so much more responsive and quicker than my LGT with coilovers and sway.

Metal2You Posted July 25, 2008 Author Share Posted July 25, 2008 Hmmm. If bushings actually make a noticeable improvement I may have to give them a try. Whiteline makes a steering rack busking kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Ok, I am not positive is the same part number, but I postive they have same ratio and pretty sure are interchangeable... Sharper response may be due to combination of factors - tires, LCA bushings, rubber/pillowball top hat, etc. If the STI was on RE070 tires - they have amazing steering response due to concrete like sidewalls. I ran them on my LGT and the difference was unbeliveable (so was harsh ride). Also don't forget shorter wheel base of STI, which adds to the "quick and nimble" feel. And, actually, rear suspension also affects steering response. I put STI pillowball bushing lateral links and they very noticeably tightened the car. Perhaps more than Superpro LCA bushings. I remember when edmundu drove my car he commented how "touchy" it is compared to his. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Th3Franz Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Suspension is a bigger factor for response than the steering rack.. especially if you are comparing a stock STi vs a stock LGT. Now, stiffen up the LGT and put some bushings on.. see what happens -Franz The end of a Legacy http://www.youtube.com/th3franz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spec B Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 I am running the stock spec B summer rubber (which is pretty good), and he has the stock rubber (which is much better), that might be a factor. I am running Coilovers so I don't think it is the tophats (I have pillowmounts). I think it is mainly the bushings...I need to upgrade! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Popinski Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 unclemat08+ would fit. But it's pointless because it's exactly the same. You know... if you swap the STi rack into an LGT, even though they are the same... would that earn you the right to put an STi badge on the back of your car? Just throwin that out there...
