    Anyone done this, or fitted the Red 9 Design kit?
    Thanks

    I've got a steering rack from an Astra Van on mine.

    You could try talking to Litesteer.

    Mr Oakley was telling me the last time I spoke to him that he was designing a rack solution, I don’t know how it progressed since.

    I also saw a front suspension subframe he was working on for Bays some time ago, but again I don’t know how that progressed, might well have been related to the above.

    Just checked, it is a bit longer, I fitted Dec 2015.

    And I've done 20,000 miles with it on!!!

    So that’s kit with twin wishbones coil overs and rack and pinion steering? Presumably stability at speed improves loads?
