Post REBUILT POWER STEERING RACKS

I'm looking for suggestions on where to obtain a rebuilt power steering rack for an 86 944 Turbo.

I've seen several posts for "Blaszak Precision Motorsports" in Canada, and Excellence recently featured a unit from "Griffith Technical." I also understand that there are Porsche factory rebuilt units available.

Any "real feedback" from satisfied (or not so satisfied) customers?

Paragon, Virtex, PAP (look out, good prices, good parts, bad customer service).

Got mine from PAP for $240, or close to that. Quite slow on the core charge credit, but a good unit.

I got a used unit from a parts car for $125, and I still have my old one (I'm clinging to the hope that I get some money for the tie rod ends.

This site is supposed to have a rebuild kit for the power steering rack, if you're into that type of work. I plan to rebuild mine after I do the belts/seals/waterpump this spring and would certinly listen to someone elses experience before diving in. BTW this link came from a post on Rennlist.
