    Default how to get max lock with ae86 powersteering

    Car - ae86

    motor - 20v ST

    use - daily/track

    problem - want more lock (and more responsive handling)

    occurs/started when - factory amount of lock was just not enough

    personal situation - need lots of lock

    I'd like some help on how to get lots of steering lock (and better control in general) without having to get rid of my powersteering.

    what are the parts i need?
    extra lock tie rod ends?
    longer LCA's?
    RCA?
    camberplates?

    thx in advance.
    Fil.

    *PS* if your going to say, "just get rid of your powersteering and go manual rack + pw/s arms + lock spacer etc... etc...." dont bother as i am well aware of such a set up

    aside from lock spacers i dont think there is much you can do without risking damage to the powerstearing bits. i might be wrong though

    looked into lock spacers, but the only one i could find was AJPS which does not suit pws racks, only manual racks

    Why do you want to run power steering on such a light car?

    girl arms maybe?

    even my mrs has no trouble throwing mine around a car park with modified s13 stuff and 16x8.

    with the old powerstearing arms and manual rack it was almost one arm parking

    not sure to be honest, asked AJPS and they said that they wont fit.
    already ordered johnnys rack ends and they suit both manual and pw/s, so if that suits both then why doesnt the spacer? im not sure.

    came with powersteering so i might aswell use it

    your only reason for keeping it is because its already there????

    if you really want improvements, piss it off and use a manual rack with the correct rack mount. "may as well use it" doesnt improve your ability to drift

    AE86 power steering rocks.

    For everybody that has never driven an AE86 with power steering, you have no right to comment on what its like.

    And I don't see why it would decrease ones ability to drift either.
