Steering racks

[DarkWing6]

My rack is leaking real bad so I have decided to replace it. I would go with a E30 M3 or a 95 M3 rack if I could get my hands on one, but currently I cannot. Through my work I can get the rack out of a E36 non 95 M3 (all the rest of the E36 racks M3 and non are the same) for $150. Will that work with my nonairbag 89 is? Is it even an improvement upon a E30 i rack? Opinions?

Yes, it will work. Yes it is an improvement. I recommend it.

How much of an improvement are we talking?

Yeah, it accually wasn't that bad. I kinda cheated though. We had an e30 in the shop that had the Zionsville kit, so I just bent mine to match that hose.
