I don't know a lot about EMS racks but can give you a few pointers...
1) Looping the hoses won't do anything.
2) Is the heaviness a problem all the time or only at very low speeds / parking? If heaviness at speed is the main issue, adjusting the front-end alignment to reduce caster would probably help.
3) The right rack for the EMS might not be the right rack for your car. The EMS weighed only 2500 lbs. and had relatively narrow tires. Putting the same rack in your car that weighs ~500 lbs. more and has wider tires, you'll still probably have high steering effort.
