zhp rack is my favorite mod, and I have many. Even if you're not tracking, the biggest affects to driving feel are steering and tires. The lock-to-lock is largely irrelevant on public roads but the feel makes a big difference vs the other racks.
Owner reviews for steering rack
My 2013 WRX has a 2020 STI one that the previous owner installed. It’s super good
I have a 13 WRX, had the 15+ sti steering rack for 2 years now. I think it feels much better then the stock one! No issues with TC or VDC.
Have on in my 14 sti, love it. Not sure how different the electronic systems are from wrx to sti but no issues with about 5k miles on it.
I just put in a Z3 rack in my 1998 and it is amazing! The steering is amazing! 100% recommend it is not too fast for me at all
I think it’s improved slightly. The new steering rack is similar to the one in the WRX.
I've recently had my 11th Gen sport go in again after experiencing sticky steering. The first time was right around 3k miles, and this most recent time was 13k. While I can express that the problem has been resolved for the most part, it makes me question whether or not it will be covered under warranty after the 30k guarantee. Only time will tell if that's the last time this issue will come again.
The biggest issue which I decided not to purchase one is the steering rack is prone to cracking for no reason and mess up the electronic steering. I'm not sure if it's widespread and bound to happen or limited to certain vins and model years. However, it's not uncommon.
The G30 5 series had broken steering rack... all happened under warranty period too. They got it fixed for free but that's the most problematic new car my parents got.
I drive a 2015 Honda City and had the steering rack replaced about 2 months at an authorized Honda service center. It was making noise and had excessive play. Now, barely 1000km later, the same *issue* is back. The noise is there and just as loud as before.
