what kind of rack..manual or power

I like my manual rack, anyone who say's it's hard to steer is a girl, I can use one arm to turn even at dead stall. Once I replaced my seized lower ball joints is loosened that **** up alot..

i have a dx coupe that came stock from teh factory with tilt steering and has a manual rack so it has to be possible

anywho, i love manual steering, much better then power steering because i love the feeling u get from a manual steering. Its not even hard to steer with so i dont know whats wrong with wimpy people, its only a little civic

try a PS RACK with the PS part ripped out and an H22 in the bay.. Then you'll think a normal manual rack is heaven.

manual feels 10x better when you're driving. when the car is running, i find the steering wheel to be more precise and easier to steer than my dad's accord with ps. the only b*tch about it is in the parking lots but you get used to it.

Haven't done the Non-PS conversion, yet. Might get to it when I upgrade the tranny next year, if, I get to it.

I like the manual route, it feels like there is more connection with the road. IMO PS is only good for cars that wiegh over 3000 pounds otherwise it is unneccesary.

Honda rack and pinions are made to be adjusted if you think your power steering is to loose you need an adjustment .
power is the way to go unless draging or solo track racing.

For Honda civics manuel isn't too bad. For some other cars manuel is a bitch. My car came with power steering, but my rack is leaking. I got a new 1 though.
