    Sure hope somebody can give me some hints in the right direction.

    Can i lean the rack forward, to get a better angle on the steering wheel input knuckle, short car, and my pedals will be very close to the rack.

    Just use the stock steering, it won't be the thing to fail or leave you stuck or stransed.

    Howe performance is good so if you dont want to leave stock then you should direct this question directly to Howe to get the best answers
