Again, why do you want a rack? Have you considered upgrading your steering box? I'm not opposed to aftermarket - I've got a 21st Century Street Machine subframe and the LD 3 link (the best of the best) in a '68 project that's in paint jail now; but "aftermarket subframe" and "budget" just don't go together, because any of the pro-touring subframes are going to be in the $6k-$7k range.

Carl Casanova has 275-45-17's on his stock subframed car. Many of us are running 245-45-17's and C5 brakes on our stock subframed cars.

If you want to see what these cars can do, come up for the "Cruise the Crest" event in Los Angeles on February 15th. (Look at the Pro-touring board.) You'll have to get up REALLY early, but you may decide the stock subframe will be just fine.

3k budget....you need to mod the stock sub and you will much better off.

Yeah i might just do that cause my only other options would be to try to find used or save..

And yes, you can do plenty to your stock subframe to get some MUCH better handling. It just takes a bit of research to get the right information.

The last time we went there were 9 cars, including 2 supercharged Camaros. It's a great run up some incredible mountain roads.

You can go to the lat g and ebay and all the car websites and see if you can find a wayne due for sale. I see them once in a while that come up for sale.

If you are willing to be patient, and you are diligent, you will find a deal.

just watch the "for sale" sections of the various forums, craigslist, etc. and have your cash ready.

There are a lot of folks re-prioritizing these days and selling stuff. I picked up my WD sub (pics in links below) this way, a year or so ago.
