Ive fitted a standard Corsa column, without EPAS, which gave me a nice striaght column/dricing posistion. I also fitted an EPAS rack to give me a quickrack.
Im also about to convert it over to EPAS, ihave all the gear, just need to make a start. keep an eye out for my projects threads.

to be honest the Saxo Pump and corsa rack is easier option.

I find my quick (epas) rack fine on the move its only at very slow speeds its a little stiff. I also find that the torque steer was.. and this is where it gets hard to explain.. it felt like it wasnt as bad, BUT it felt stiffer to correct the torque steer.
Is it for an XE or similar?

The saxo pump is simple to fit and can be mounted anywhere it fits, 2 wires and its done. No wiring the steering ecu or recoding issues etc.

I'm running the hydraulic 'wet' rack setup with a 12v pump. I quite like it tbh.

Though I'm unsure why but I think I prefer the idea of the EPAs setup using a controller & a kwik rack.
