are Civic & Crx steering rack ratio's different?

I've noticed my crx mk2 seemed to turn alot quicker than my 4g civic, ie you had to turn the wheel less in the crx to cover the same distance/turning

does the crx have a differently geared rack, if so does the rack fit in the civic?

someone may want to correct me on this but as far as i know the crx vt has a slightly shorter geared rack than the civic vt. Obviously the sir etc.... all come with power steering.

As far as i know you should be able to fit it though without too much hassle - some people do it because they prefer the shorter rack

I thought so, because the steering was alot sharper and more responsive. I presume the racks shorter from a 16v ed9 to and ed7.

Does anyone have both to count the number of turns?

The CRX has a shorter wheelbase aswell don't forget.....and the tracking/geometry/tire setup will totaly alter how a car 'feels' aswell.
