Adjustable Steering Ratio?

It is possible at all to adjust the steering ratio for any R56 coopers? I thought maybe since it's electrical it could be "programmed," but I have no idea. I auto-xed with the car for the first time yesterday, but wished it had just a liiiittle quicker ratio - I never had to hand over hand or anything, so I guess not really a big deal if not possible. I don't even know if it would fly as far as rules go

As far as I know, the electric part is only the assist. There is still a rack and pinion. Unless you change those out, the steering ratio (turns of the steering wheel to angle moved by the front wheels) are pretty much set.

Almost certainly a no-go in HS. Might be legal in SP, but I'm not sure.
