      my 2nd gen is front-steer and for the little advantage to running a rack, I'd go with an improved version like what Ride Tech has to offer. I've seen people do racks on these cars but IMHO I don't think the work and fabrication outweighs the difference. A good quick ratio box with quality parts is still the way to go for me.
