K-Member / Rack & Pinion Steering Suggestions

racerjoe said

Denny, any percentage estimation on many cars with your K-member get lots of street miles and/or auto-x or track use? I'm not poking the bear, I'm truly curious. I think we all know most people sit in lawn chairs behind their cars in parking lots. This gets back to people wanting to be able to say they have a rack and coil overs and really could care less about any improvements. It's like those guys with the blown 632 and the car never exceeds 20mph.

my best guestimate....
90%..... street / hot rod
10% .....drag race
1% or less auto X......might be more with the intent, but I doubt if they ever see the track.

99% HDK customers tell me they want their muscle car.....
1) to have a the modern steering feel with greater high speed stability
2) be easier to work on especially header /exhaust installation
3) easy adaption of multiple engine combinations
4) exhaust that does not rattle (against the torsion bars)
5) the stance they want.

HDK strives to check all the boxes. Rarely do they ask about weight reduction....which it has... or application for auto x events.

I admire what you (and a few others) do with your car, especially after seeing the video of the guy crashing his Barracuda into the cement barrier at an auto X event in Calif (?). **** happens.
