Either rack will fit just fineThe sport steering is about 25% faster, but you probably won't notice it unless you A & B them

I replaced std rack with sport rack, happy with results. Got a great price from autowarehouse.com were prompt in returning core deposit too. Good luck getting the passenger side bolt, what a PITA. I had to have a 4" piece of flat bar welded to the end of my wrench in order to reach that sucker

Funny you say that, I pulled mine out today and just used a distributor wrench as my back-out wrench. I found that to be the easiest way for me.
