Guest Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 See: http://www.subaru-sti.co.jp/GPN/parts/2008my/2008my-e.html Then click on Parts Categories, Steering. This is for 08 STI but 99% it would fit LGT. The problem is... price. And the irony is that RHD STI gets that rack stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterJMC Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 What's the benifit of a 13:1 rack? I'm assuming the number of rotations you need to make to full lock on either side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 I'd really like a quicker steering rack in the Outback. I can barely get my hand between the steering wheel and my right leg so it makes driving with lots of steering annoying and tricky. You could always put LGT steering rack in it. It's 1:14.5 (or 1:15?, forget now) versus 1:16.5 your have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilh Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Yes! Our OB drives me crazy compared to our LGT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby2.5 Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Id like to know the answer to this as well. Plan on keeping my outback for a long time and if it needs a rack someday I would want to install an LGT or STI rack. Anyone know if it would fit?

Guest Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 I don't see why it wouldn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeFromPA Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 I don't remember the ratio, but my 05 Saab 9-2x Aero was a WRX wagon w/ an STi steering rack as one of the upgrades. It had absolutely incredible steering. Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xenonk Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 unclemat, you should call up the guys in Canada (rev-labs) and get them to do the 11.5:1 that I used to have in my WRX. I only paid $1500 for it and Rev Labs used all OEM subaru parts and warrantied their work. (You send up a core, and about 2 to 3 weeks later, you get it back with 100% super fast steering). If the STi and the LGT have the same rack, i wonder if the normal 09 WRX and the STi have the same rack.. spend even less money at a junk yard and pick up a core for like $200 (that's what I did for my 02 back in the day). screw having the 13:1.. I'm sure for $3100, you can get the Canadian guys to build you a 10.5:1 ratio rack for that price. That's total go-kart/rally driving. Just becareful with that kind of rack through, I used to understeer like crazy because I used to dial in too much steering when I drove. It was really really BORING to drive on public streets because I didnt have to move the wheel to switch lanes or even make 90 degree turns. I sure missed my quick steering rack for my WRX Keefe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Well, technically 08+ WRX/STI and 05+ LGT have the same rack. 04-07 STI has same ratio, but the rack is not interchangable I believe. I heard that Canadian company is working on 08+ Impreza fitment so that will fit Legacy. 10.5:1 sounds extreme, I'd be happy with 12.5:1 I think.

edkwon Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Not sure i really want a faster steering rack, i dont drive on the track/mountain roads that often enough that i need that much more response, and with the stock steering rack, my car twitches enough from dead center position when i'm doing freeway commuting, requiring constant corrections, which is just annoying when it comes to boring urban driving. I think it's sensitive enough for everyday use. I've driven USDM Evos with the tighter ratio steering rack, and its even more annoying when it comes to cruising, driving aggressively on the twisties tho, yes its an asset. Correct me if i'm wrong, but our cars are GTs, and having overly sensitive steering kind of detracts from the whole 'long distance fast cruising experience' that a Gran Touring car is all about.

Scooby2.5 Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 The GT has a bit quicker one than the OBXT and the XT still feels pretty good to me. If I ever had to change it out for any reason i think I woud just go with the sti/lgt one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Island Legacy Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Sorry to bump a old thread but does the 09 cars get a faster rack as well, or this is the same for the 07 revisions. The ratio in the lgt is still not fast enough for me and I would like something faster for auto-x. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camber Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 http://www.q-rack.com/WhatIsQRack.html They offer 12.5:1 and 11.5:1 ratios. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
