Ya, that's why I said more precise. It's more turns side to side. My hands needing to turn the wheel 1-2% more for a turn isn't a big deal. But you have better feel and control while you're turning.

Why do you think Protege Garage sells this rack on their site? Read their product description.

thats the same description that he's had up there since 2001. i can't speak for ken, but his description is not entirely accurate.
its a documented FACT that the MP3 has a "Slower" ratio than the ES/Pro5. a slower ratio make for MORE turns lock-to-lock, not less.
in fact, subaru feels the same way giving the Impreza STi a ratio of 15.2:1, which is quicker than the standard WRX's steering ratio of 16.5:1. and the Japanese version gets a ratio of 13.0:1!
so, whats better?
I never disagreed that it was slower... I never said it was faster or slower, I know the MP3's 15.4:1 is higher than the 15.0:1 of every other protege. The MP3 shares the steering rack with the Euro Spec Proteges. But a slower rack, equates to a better feel and more precise steering.
Search for threads, there's plenty of people that have discussed it. Especially back around 2003-2006. It's generally agreed upon that the MP3 rack feels more solid and precise.
Not really sure why you're arguing this point so much...

i only stated the fact that the MP3 rack is not necessarily better than the ES/Pro5. driving "Feel" comes from much more than the steering rack, and is more connected to wheel, tire, and suspension specs.
