Does anyone make stiff steering rack bushing?
Does anyone make stiff steering rack bushing for 2nd gen rx7s? The stock bushing is kind of soft. I seen them for subies and hondas before i just can't find any for FCs. What are some other ways of improving steering feel other then bars? THanks!!

Increase the caster. |
The stiffer bushings are useful in the other cars because theirs are overly soft and the rack actually will move back and forth. Ours are fairly thin, and when I had my rack out last year, the bushings were in good condition. I don't think the rack actually moves around much at all.

getting rid of p/s increases steering feel

First of all thanks for the reply. I already have a manual rack, but when i drove a rx8 that totally blew my mind. The steering feel and precsion was amazing. I understand that the new car structur is much stiffer but i feel a better steering feel could be possible with the fc chassie. Currenty i have new tie rod ends, poly bushing, gab shocks in the front and a ebay strut bar (f and r). I might try to add a bottom front chassie bar and a better top strut bar. What else can i do to improve steering feel? HOw much caster should i dial in?? Thanks!

Doesn't the RX-8 use "electronically assisted" steering?
How about stiffer sidewall / lower aspect ratio tires? -Ted |
