I am debating whether to start collecting parts for a steering rack swap. I wanted to know what your impressions were with a quicker rack installed.
Rack swap completed, I am filling in my own answers in bold
1) What rack did you use
2.7 turn lock to lock fom 98 Z3 2.8L
2) Is the steering effort better or worse than you expected (using power steering )
Feels the same as the stock E30 rack to me
3) Is the steering response better or worse than you expected
Not as quick as I expected it to be but certainly well worth it
4) Anything else I should know?
Airbag car = clearance the firewall a bit for the steering shaft, also I didn't need to bend the P/S lines for them to fit
5) Was the rack swap worth it/would you do it again on another e30?
Absolutely! It would be hard for me to own another E30 with a stock rack after this
Thanks!
