Re: WRX steering rack fitment

I've given it a small amount of thought. The mounts for the WRX rack are quite a bit different from the SVX ones. The SVX rack is basically held in at two points by strap clamps but the WRX one has one side bolted to the subframe. You would need to do some experimental cutting and welding on the subframe to make mounting points.

I didn't get into looking to see if the tie rods are compatible. You would want to use our outer ends which have an arc to clear the wheel, instead of the WRX ones which are straight. The other interface that matters is the steering coupler spline. There are ways around it but it would be ideal if our steering column matched the WRX rack without having to make adapters or anything like that.
