Ok, guys, I have a Quaife quick rack fitted to my AE86, it was obtained from Richard at R.M sport in the UK, he is very easy to deal with. You will recieve JUST the rack shaft and pinion gear, NOTHING else, no rack ends, no steering arms....NOTHING, you will have to rebuild your own rack or another. I decided to rebuild another rack(thanks Jazae86) while I was at it I replaced the rack ends, tie rod ends, steering boots and pinion shaft bearings with genuine Toyota, expensive but if it's worth doing, do it right!. You will have to set two preloads, the pinion shaft preload and the rack preload, these are both easy to do. the rack is a very easy install into an AE86. The steering in heavier(of course) but extremely direct......telepathic!!! there is a slight increase in kickback but the feed back is awesome, it feels like my hands are directly connected to the front wheels! roundabouts are a mere flick of the wrists, I HIGHLY recommend this rack, do i hear the word go-kart!!!! Ok for those guys just wanting to swap steering arms and think they are going to get less turns lock to lock, think again!!! Yes the steering will be slightly faster, BUT you haven't changed the rack gears, so if your STANDARD AE86 rack is 4 turns lock to lock, it doesn't matter what steering arms you fit the steering WILL STILL be 4 turns lock to lock!!! think about it.....YOU HAVEN"T CHANGED THE GEARING IN THE RACK!!!
