I have not heard of anyone using the MR2 or S2000 components. As I understand it, they are integral to the steering column, and difficult to integrate. They are also both speed sensitive, so it needs some input to make it work right. Not insurmountable problems, but I have not seen anyone do it yet.

Flaming River makes a kit that is similar to those two, but it's very expensive.

There is another electric P/S kit that uses an electric motor to run the P/S pump. I can see that would have some advantages.

I have the same problem you do. Some military injuries make it difficult to muscle the car around the track on the week ends. 200+ high speed corners during the course of the week end can really wear you out.

After some research, I spent big bux on race ready components: KRC pump, braided lines, AGR rack, etc. Expensive, but it works well and should be reliable.

For a street car, I'd use stock Mustang components. Simple, inexpensive, easy to come by, and reliable.
