Just to clarify, this piece doesn't replace anything, correct? It just sits between the steering rack bushings and the bolt?

I suppose my statement wasn't clear enough, I'm sorry.

The kit decreases rotational mass from the engine which will free up the revs, but it will not be as noticeable as the crank pulley.

So yes, there are gains to be had.

That is correct. The part is an addition to the vehicle.

Yup, simple install. Amazing difference for the price. Tried changing bushings first, it helped, but this was just the ticket for the go cart feeling!

I'd love to do the Steering Rack inserts, but unfortunately that won't fly in Solo STX Autocross events... Bummer, those looks pretty damn sweet!

Wait so you added a bushing? which bushing along with the perrin part? How noticable is the response, like a crisper feel turning?
