You are probably meaning that the sway bars will give you faster cornering. But what I am looking for is instantaneous responses to my steering input. And I was wondering if HICAS steering rack would give me the such responses.

"you are always going to have a certain delayed amount of input time, with a stock steering rack...If you have ever driven a Hicas car, you will notice immediately . The wheels responds instantanously to steering wheel input. You can pull much tighter u turns and whatnot as well. I have shocked other 240 owners when I have shown this to them.
In other words you can clean up some of the slop in your steering, but you will never get rid of that delay time. Unless you get a Hicas steering rack."
