get a 94-01 integra rack, its a shorter ratio lock to lock.
im currently using a gsr rack, but all of the integra racks are the same iirc.
there are a couple differences between the integra and civic racks. they mount up the same, but the integra rack has hard lines on the outside of it instead of the soft rubber ones the civic has, and the integra rack only has one return line instead of the two on the civic rack. in order to use the integra rack you need to delete one of you return lines. its easy enough to remove it and then plug the second hole in the reservoir, or just get an integra reservoir. theyre fairly cheap.
the way i swapped it out was without dropping the subframe
1) disconnect the shifter and the exhaust
2) pulled off all the tie rod,
3) disconnected the ujoint thats inside the car at the bottom of the steering column
4) disconnect both return lines and the pressure line from the rack
5) undo the 4 bolts that hold the rack to the car
6) crank the rack all the way to the passenger side so that it makes the drivers side part of the rack as short as possible and then lower that end down and then slide it out between the subframe and the control arm.
its trick y but you can do it that way.
install is the reverse.
