I have gotten fed up with my leaking skwaking steering rack :x and im going to go with one from Zionsville. what lock to lock turn should i go with? i want quick but i have heard that the 2.7 ratio will not stop the turn signal.
What do you guys think?

Don't see the connection between changing the rack and the indicator cancel system, other than with increased steering rack movement relative to the column you're going to have to go around a tighter corner to actually engage the reset.

Dont see it as much of a sacrifice really, I usually flick them off before the mechanism on the stalk gets chance
