Rack and Pinion conversion

The GTS kits start around 4 grand, depending on the options you want. I looked at several different kits, and preferred the Gerst. It's not cheap, but it's very well made, fits perfectly, and unlike some kits, the coil overs do not stress any part of the original car, as they are contained completely by the new K member. (See how the coil overs attach at the top)
I'm not using the stock steering column, so I can't give you an answer there.

Looks like the shocks a re very short, how long are they ??

I don't recall exactly what I was working on, a Mustang? a Town Car? I know something Ford at least. I noticed that they had cut a hole in the brake backing plate to move the tie rod end out farther. Tie rod end was closer to brake rotor than backing plate was. Again I'm not sure but I'll say that was a 15 inch wheel example and they solved this issue in later models with larger dia. wheels. More space to move tie rod out from behind the brake rotor.
My point is even factory engineers fight steering geometry. Good luck with yours.
