Now that I've gotten it on the road, it's really not that bad. Even with 205/50/15 Federal 595 RS-RRs, it still feels better than any non-assisted power steering rack. It's also easier to turn than a non-assisted power steering rack, but parallel parking still isn't fun. I wouldn't have it on my daily, but I could definitely get used to it. You don't need to have strong arms but if your anatomy more closely resembles a stick figure, you may find it difficult sometimes.
Driving feel is good on the road at speed and for track use. That being said, I wouldn't use it for a drift car or take long trips with it. You do get a very good feel of the road, but in some cases they car may fight your steering inputs.Originally posted by MelonEngine work takes patience and finesse.

I have run this rack for a while now with a 3/4" DD rod and two Flaming River u-joints on my street driven vert and enjoy the feel but at times on longer trips the small vibrations can become tiring and annoying. I still like this setup but looked into some type of vibration reducing U-JOINT or rag joint from Borgeson and Flaming River but I couldn't find anything that would work. I guess it means live with it or go back to power steering. Just something to consider.Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience. -Mark Twain
