Are you wanting to just delete the PS and run factory rack or actually buy like a BMR manual reduction rack? I have the PS all off my stock rack for now and it drives fine don't notice it too much at all when you already moving unless you hit a 90* turn at 80mph. I am going to buy the actual rack from BMR as my next upgrade though. All I can tell you is don't plan on taking it to Wal-mart without it the parking lot will kick you ***.

I have skinnies on my car and it's liveable. With wider front tires, I could see it beaing a bear. I will eventually put a new rack on my car when money allows, my car not having PS was a financial thing - short belt = $12 vs. new rack, lines, PS pump = $500+.
