Default Manual steering rack?

How many of you have a manual steering setup as a daily driver? And how is it as far as turning radius and hard to turn? Im looking into a BMR crossmember and manual rack. Thanks

i will be running a manual rack as a wkend warrior pretty soon when i order the tubular suspension. as of now, ive removed my power steering and plugged the holes on the rack and drove it like that. not really hard to turn after a lil while plus u get use to it. steering is harder when your moving really slow due to friction of the tires against the ground. is easy when moving faster like 10mph and up. IMO, manual steering is more fun to drive. feels like a big go-kart

The manual racks that we build have a better ratio for steering than a rack with the lines looped. The car will have the same turning radius as stock. We keep the racks in stock and we are a BMR dealer.
