Yes, but why?

Common answer is to have more precise steering, but that isn't the case. if you search you'll find quite a few threads already talking about the conversion and how it ended up just like the stock steering except with more of the road felt through the wheel.

I too thought about it, and from what I've heard I don't think it is really worth the time, IMO.

What threads? I've seen where it's been a pain to install, but no complaints on steering other than the first version that had binding and ratio issues. Please links the threads you're referring to.

Thanks,

There's the first one to really come to mind. I forget what keywords I used a few months back to research it.

I do want to try the FC Subframe swap though. I have access to the parts, I just don't have the fabbing knowledge to carry out such a feat.

Thank you, that's an interesting read. I do wonder how the v2 of the rack does, though.

Am I the only one that just endlessly searches threads? lol I guess it must have something to do with not having a job. I'm on here 24/7

I usually scan what's new on the front page of the forums I'm subscribed to. Given the title of the CP R&P thread you linked, I'm very surprised I missed it given my unreasoning hatred of wondersteer.
