come on.. someone on ozhonda has to know this one
without pwr steering more response from steering
pros - quicker repsonse
cons - weight ...alittle extra power is removing power steering , also one less thing to break / stuff up on the track etc.
ohh i see..Quote:

1 other factor related to the "quicker response" is that you have a better feel for the road through the steering wheel...
power steering just makes your steering wheel turn easier but doesn't really differentiate between low or high speeds (as in the wheel weight feels similar in both cases)
also if you are driving a car with crappy power steering (such as an ek4), if you are high on the revs tracking a tight bend...you can often lose powersteering instantly making the wheel operate in pure manual mode...its really annoying when you are turning the wheel easily then on the final half turn, it just weighs ALOT more...
really...for track...power steering sux...robs power/can **** up/extra weight/doesn't feel as good
at track speeds, a non-power assisted steering setup should be of a comparable weight to power steering anyway...
the only advantage power steering has is in street situations (ie parking)
i understand what your saying.Quote:

IMO yes , if you have a non-PS rack installed then use it.Quote:

For experience , i have a car with a PS rack but PS removed .
None what so ever, except maybe for parking ur car around the pits?
benjamin...how's that run actually?
like i heard somewhere that ps racks need the lubrication supplied by the rest of the power steering system...unless you've diverted the fluid to lubricate the rack?
my source could just be bs...not sure
