What are the differences between the Titan and the Nitron quick-racks? Does the Titan rack reduce bump-steer for cars lower than stock LSS like the Nitron?

Will you guys have install directions posted up sometime?

This looks like a really cool mod

That is in fact, how you adjust the rack for bump steer - which should only be needed if you significantly lower the car. New plates are available from Lotus - you remove the bolts, drill out the single rivet (which is only there to position the plate) and remove the plate. The new plate is then riveted in place - it will have the holes positioned differently (there is a selection of plates). Then you reinstall the bolts and torque things down. It's all in the manual.

Thanks for the info CXRK and Tim!

I'll have to take a look at the manual but the install sounds like a pain.

Nice to see the unit being sold in the US now. I have the Nitron QR and I appreciate the increased turn in response.

Fun to install solo, by the way ! (not).
