Thanks Phoenix.

So where's Bill? I want him to comment on the feel of this mod as he is to date the only other person on this forum to have felt it even when parked.

Personally, I have no complaints about the feel of it at all. I'm running 235/40 RT-615's in the front and a smaller Sparco steering wheel. This is the 15.2:1 rack so it has the WORST mechanical advantage of all the racks offered for the FC. Yes it is a little difficult when STOPPED. Once rolling it's fine and I one handed her all the way to DGRR and back. There is little effort needed when moving and the response is superb. Me likey and higly rec anyone wanting to do this. I've felt the looped line PS removal and it was kinda notchy. You could feel when the pressure was moving inside the rack. This is seemless, as it should be.

My first Auto-X event is this Sunday........ if I remember to order my helmet. I'll report back then but I can pretty much already tell you I'm not going to have sore arms. I'm not weak by any stretch of the imagination, but I am ~5'10+ and weigh <145lbs.
