Default LS400 rack into SC300?

Seen so much talk on the ls400 rack into a sc300 for better steering lock/ turn angle. Has anybody done this? I have searched all over and not gotten an specific info on the benefit. Whats the angle diff? Is this mod a bolt on?
Any info would be helpful. I would like to do a good how to and compare on this mod, vs the old setup. Thanks.

if you searched you would have found out that the ls400 rack is not bolt on, fully custom.

but there is other cost effective ways around to get more angle

cutting your knuckles and tie rod angle spacers... and the other easy buyable parts will get you more than enough angle. forget about the LS400 rack.

Nice angle! Can you post a parts list of your spacific mods and a pic of your cut knuckles. Did you have any clearance problems with the suspension? Steering locks? Thanks for the info- in advance.
