For those that have depowered racks, what rack are you using, HICAS or non-HICAS? The reason I ask is that I have a HICAS rack and am considering depowering it. I know that there is a difference in steering ratio, HICAS being 2.6 turns lock-to-lock and non-HICAS being 3.1 turns. I would think that with a depowered HICAS rack more steering effort would be required, but is it significant/ noticeable? Would I be better off sourcing a non-HICAS rack for the conversion?

Thanks.
