faster the better imho, when the back end goes you need to be able to point the wheels fast.

I found a 2.4 was a little too fast for motorway cruising and the 2.9 was perfect, especially with a small steering wheel. Ardent track day nuts will want 2 turns or even less

Mine is fine as a pure road use car with 2.4 turn rack.

I started with the standard 3.5 turn rack, changed to the 2.4 turn one. After a while I thought it was a bit too 'brisk' so I changed back - and hated it! The 2.4 one is now a permanent fixture.

It's a bit heavy at parking speeds, but really easy at driving speeds.

I wouldn't go any slower now...

Similar experience here I was using the car regularly on track with a 2.4 rack. Now I'm using it a lot more on the road I've gone to a 2.9 rack and its a good compromise. Maybe a little slow sometimes to catch the car on track so you can end up wagging the tail a bit more!
