You can replace the steering rack, why?

Because some cars have like massive numbers of turns (my mom's Mercedes has 4 lock to lock, I have 3, which still feels like too many, 2 would be a nice number). I can see why you'd want it, but its rarely what someone looks to upgrade, points for being different!

R&T has numbers for convertible GTs (all above $70K)

The AVG turns to lock is 3, two have 2.8

is saw that on the page is says"...increased steering wheel cut off angle. This will allow for a higher steering angle at full steering wheel lock."

meaning at wheel lock the wheel is bent at a harder angle with the Tein tie rods. What I want is fewer turn to wheel lock.

Or am I just reading Tein's website incorrectly?
