I summon the help of the SVX guru's! faster steering rack

Ok so i read that our cars came with 3 possible steering ratios. Mine is a 96 LSi so i have the second worst available ratio. I read that the 4 wheel steer cars came with a much better steering ratio and i want it!! My questions are as follows:
Did subaru ever make a left hand drive 4ws svx? If they did it makes my life alot easier!
If they only came in right hand drive jdm/uk cars, would it be possible to swap the guts from the right hand drive 4ws rack into a left hand drive rack? Does anyone happen to know the part number for the 4ws rack? I really want to make this happen! Ive done pretty much everything else i can to make the car handle its best but the damn steering is way too slow for how i want to drive it. To everyone to even attempts to help me with this matter I thank you in advance !!!!!

I think you are going to be out of luck as 4WS was only offered in Japan/Australia/New Zealand & UK eg NOT LHD

Ok so i can scratch that option off the list. Hopefully i can find a way to first of all locate a 4ws rhd rack and then manage to swap the guts to a lgd one.. thanks for the info!

Maybe Shane Hobson (shanehobson) - here in NZ has one, he has lots of spares & also owns a 4WS model.
