If you have to ask, the answer is always no.

I've never driven a looped conversion, but I believe I've heard that the Maval conversion is easier.

That said, with the Maval, if the car is moving at all, it's not difficult. Yes, if you're making a five point turn where you're cranking the wheel while stopped, yes it's a bit tedious. But how many times do you do that?

I'm not a hard-core autocrosser, but I could imagine it might be less than optimal for that particular activity, but for a weekend cruising and track car, it's GREAT.

When you first do, the initial reaction is "jeez what did I do?" but after a day or two, you don't even notice.

Nobody else can give you the answer, because they are not you. Assess what you want, weigh it against the observations of those have and haven't, and make your own decision.

I have the Maval Manual Rack on the way for my new track car. My old track car I looped the lines. Once I get home this summer, I can give you a side by side comparision of lines looped and full manual racks. I will say that my car that has the lines looped is not bad to drive on the streets at all. Other than a dead stop, turning the wheel isn't hard at all. I got alot more feedback with the lines looped. I'm anxious to try out the Maval Rack.
