So I rebuilt the power steering in my 65 fastback about 5 years back with a flaming rivers quick steer box, polyurethan bushings and several other worn out comonents.....While the steering definitely felt more responsive, it never had a tactile feel.
.....Fast forward 5 years to the present and now the steering is downright irritating to me......my other vehicle is a Honda S2000. When I go from driving my S2K to my fastback, I sometimes get to the point where I don't even enjoy driving the mustang anymore and THAT's is the saddest part of all!
ANyways, I have manual brakes in the fastback and am used to putting extra effort into brake pressure........So along those same lines, I'm wondering if anyone out there has had experience with TCP's Manual Rack and Pinion steering conversion?
Because the fastback isn't my daily driver I don't think muscling the car at low speeds in parking lots will be that much of a concern.....
- But more importantly, those who do have experience with the manual r/p kit, what are your reviews and opinions of the product?
- Is it much more responsive than standard or "quick steering (16:1 ratio)" steering setups?
- I'm sure some people might prefer the power steering version of this kit, but with speeds above 15-20mph, is the power steering assistance still necessary???
