Or maybe we can choose custom steering angles before the racks are machined.

Where do I send my deposit?
Not sure if Jon is taking any more deposits for the group buy, but he can still certainly still make you a rack. I'll found out for you.

It's so hard at stop, that I worry about things bending (including my wrists). I'd say it's like 100+ ft lbs., lug nuts torqued to 90lbs are way easier to deal with. I think my wrists would have a tough time through lot's of esses or winding road. Thats with 255 tires in front. The car has been sitting for many years and I just thought about checking the tire pressure (so that might be contributing). So i'm wondering if this rack will make the car significantly easier to turn than a depowered stock rack? ie. close to what a stock non-power steering car would feel like.

I'll have my power steering rack for sale here shortly + pump and all the lines. I'm going to be running 285's in the front & 315's in the rear, just go to the gym.
