    Close ratio steering rack

    Hi guys

    I am chasing a close ratio steering rack for a E30. I already have a 3.2 E36 rack but want a closer ratio. Something around 2 turns. I have bought another E36 rack and plan to pull it apart. Maybe get the rack and pinion modified.

    Any advice or interest would be greatly appreciated.

    I believe the z3 rack is the lowest ratio rack that drops in to our cars

      Yeah it's 2.7 turns lock to lock. But isn't that because that rack has a larger turner circle?

        Ere is no rack that fits our cars directly and is anywhere near 2 turns lock to lock. You could get a steering quickener and pair it with a better rack and get close though.
