Not sure if I just had a bad ratio set up or what but I had a couple of car buddies drive it and they all did not like it one bit. Now I'm not here to say rack and pinions are bad or to rip on unisteer because this is kind of one of those things that you have to try to see whether or not it is for you. But what did make me a little ticked and that is why I'm sharing this, but when we were at SEMA 2013, I just thought I'd ask one of their guys about some of the problems I was having and his only answer was, "well you must have installed it wrong"........there's only one way to do the install. So I decided to get my responsive steering back (which I am currently doing and I will update soon) and better yet make the car safe to go around corners with cause let we tell you it sure was sketchy! So that's it in a nutshell. Sorry to have it so long and hope that answered some questions!
