As always, it's always a compromise - you gain some and loose some. One racer told me that with a quick steering rack and slick tyres it's a PITA to combat the steering wheel if you get into slide on asphalt. On gravel surfaces the front wheels never have a chance to exert such high loads to steering wheel. Just thought I'd mention this. Bump steering. In gravel trim a car's suspension effective stroke is pretty long. There is very little to be done about that. In asphalt trim there is something to be done, due to noticeably shorter suspension stroke. In static stance the steering rack should have it's tie rods in same angle as it rolled out assembly line when new. Usually in diy lowered cars they are higher at steering knuckle end, thus being more horizontal than normally. It would be beneficial to raise steering rack to gain back original tie rod attitude.
