FYI - if you narrow the cradle you are going to have to come up with a different rack and pinion if you want to retain good steering geometry. Many people use other racks (I think most use a Mustang rack and others have custom ones made) and C5/6 components, but their revised geometry is designed to work with the rack and pinion that they've chosen. They typically have a redesigned steering arm as well. You may already know this, but I just wanted to make sure that you didn't get in over your head thinking that you could just narrow it without any issues.
