What’s the difference between the high performance rack and the standard rack?

Number of turns lock to lock. High performance rack is usually fewer turns - if I recall correctly.

High performance is typically the 5.0 rack. 15:1 ratio/2.5 turns lock to lock.

Regular rack came in the 4-banger. 20:1 ratio and 3 turns lock to lock.

I thought they were all 2.5, the 2.25 was with the limiters due to the different fender designs in the 91-93.

I believe that LARES unit is also the one LMR carries as their new rack option.
