FH is the regular rack;3.5 turns? lock to lock.
The Z51 option rack (NS ? ) is something like 2.75.
Interchange no problem
If the price is the same and to want to smarten up your steering ,get the Z51 rack.

actually the NS rack is 75 bucks cheaper !! which is why i was sceptical that it was the sport rack... figured the sport rack would be more not less
