i know the megan rca says that you'll need one of there coilover kit for it to work but does the techno toy tuning rca work with any shocks thats on the car?

stupid question but does the NST steering spacers fit the power steeering rack also?

You will need to loop the power steering lines to run the NST spacer on the power steering rack.

It's not as difficult as you may think. No ps on fwd cars sucks but it's not really an issue on our light, rwd corollas.

Agreed, depowered steering racks feel gross.

looped lines will feel sloppy because of the 10* of play in the quill while fighting the seals, but a quick ratio depowered rack, with the seals pulled and the quill welded, is a great thing.

also, good rubber makes a huge difference.

Another option often utilized by the Honda crowd is adding a breather tank in place of the pump.

The seal/piston removal method.
