Is the VTS rack a straight swap, or is there more involved?
Take it, it's quite a noticeable difference when tootling around town..

Yes the phase 1 rack is 2.4 lock to lock and is a direct swap, if you fit a phase 2 vts rack you will need pipes also and is a 2.6 lock to lock, really good upgrade.

Ok turning slightly more track car ever time I drive it
Only driven it twice this year can't work out if things are broken or just not used to it yet.seems to be easier to turn left that right though so maybe ball point or somthing like that.
