Sold: 2008 STI steering rack - $90
 
[COLOR="Red"][B]SOLD[/B][/COLOR]
Used 2008 STI steering rack for sale with Whiteline bushings, taken off the car at 44k miles, great condition & no issues or leaks with the rack.
I just swapped in a faster rack which is why this one's for sale.

Looking to get it out my garage for [B]$90[/B], PM me if you're interested

I think I'm a pretty big minority on that one...


:lol:


How difficult was it to change out the rack?

just a little light trolling there :lol:

Changing the rack was hell, Garage1's brand new location in Campbell didn't have Wifi last week, so i had to walk to Starbucks for their Wifi :eek:

But seriously, install went smoothly, took ~3 hours of labor but no major issues, and the new 13:1 rack is teh seks. With the GTSpec wheel its about as close to an Evo as its going to get (thx to wwrx we did a back to back test last week with his Evo10)

Aaron @ Garage1 said he has modified STI racks to fit on other models, but its not a trivial 10min job or anything.you might want to ping him to see if its anything realistic in case you get stuck. I'll even throw in a stock STI steering wheel for ya. [/salespitch]

Random question, does this fit a 05 fxt

:spit:

I've been eyeing the GTSpec wheels. I want one. But until then, my current rubber wheel is just fine.

Interesting that the STi racks can be modded to fit. I may have to look into that.


And another bump for the sale. :thumb:

So hijack bump, but you put the '15 rack in? If so what was the cost all up?

[QUOTE=glider;3563063]So hijack bump, but you put the '15 rack in? If so what was the cost all up?[/QUOTE]
Well the rack was $575.93 from SubaruPartsHeadquarters (that was with a coupon for free shipping), and labor wise you would be looking at ~3hrs at your shop of choice.
Its a good time to also do the bushings & steering rack brace, and get the p/s fluid changed, so those extras can add ~$200 to the total

Not dirt cheap, but i'd say its worth it for the improved feel

Would this fit a 09 2.5i?

S'poreSTI 01-27-2015 10:21 PM

[QUOTE=subiekid916;3582169]Would this fit a 09 2.5i?[/QUOTE]
I'm not an expert by any means, but talking to some more knowledgeable folks it could be done, but not simple & maybe not cost effective.
Problem is the STI has a wider track than the 2.5i, so while the rack will fit, the steering arms are too long, would need to be changed to the shorter ones from a non-STI model.
Maybe check with your favorite shop & see what they say about the feasibility & cost of the changes.

Sale is pending, someone also made an offer earlier last week. I was just super slow catching up online. I'll post here if sale gets completed.
