It's very noticeable, especially the weighting of the steering, it becomes very heavy! obviously the amount of caster you run will affect this! my brother actually got me the rack gears when he was on a trip in the U.K. then airfeighted them back, I built up another rack using genuine toyota parts, rack ends, tie rods, boots and bearings, I set the preloads and built the rack up myself and wheel aligned myself, total parts came to about $1000 not including my labour, you could save alot of money using non genuine parts but why would you!! If you can afford it, I highly recommend it, the steering is heavy but you get use to it very quickly, at first I thought I may be driving down the road over correcting due to the gearing but this is not the case, the feed back is excellent, I know exactly what the front wheels are doing!! (please note though that my front suspension consists of cusco fabricated rose jointed lower control arms and caster rods....very expensive but again HIGHLY recommended! my whole suspension is rose jointed with no rubber or synthetic bushes anywhere)On a drive up my favourite hills run the maximum amount of steering lock used was about 150degrees and this was to turn around a low speed hairpin so you can see that very minimal steering angle is required to change direction, if you can afford it....DO IT!!
