I have the home built version. it uses the same rack as sterroids just different brackets.

I have no problem turning the car at a stop even with my sticky 255 Kuhmo Mx's.
Once the car is rolling it is a joy

Thanks for the input, sounds good! I'm thinking about getting in on the group purchase.

I just ordered the kit and I also have manual steering. You will need to purchase a steering pump, bracket kit and pully.

not really.. you can leave the pump off.. my car has factory PS..

im leaving it off to save power...

read the post about this in the GP thread.. pretty easy to do.. just connect the hi/lo sides of the rack together

Did you ever write up your home-built install? Thanks.
