    People with 2.7 Z3 racks: How do you like them?

    Just looking for reviews from people who have put a 2.7 linear rack in their cars. How did you like them? How are they for daily driving? Do they ever feel too twitchy? Do some people prefer the regular 3.2 stuff?

      It is little twitchy in the triple digits, but you will get use to it after awhile. I don't dare let other people drive my e30 though. Also I do not DD my e30.

        Arguably the best mod I've done. Love it.

          I have an E36 M3 rack, which I believe is similar to the Z3 rack. It's very twitchy at highway speeds, but I love it. In conjunction with M3-style offset bushings, it makes the car feel like a go-kart.
          It's fine for daily driving.

            One of the best upgrades I've ever done to the car, highly recommended.

              love this upgrade. I run it without power steering, very responsive. Like others said, its twitchy at high speeds.

                I have a 350mm steering wheel, offset M3 control arm bushings, IE 3's, and custom Billy Sports with my Z3 rack. It's twitchy at first but you get used to it, and once you do you'll wonder how you drove an E30 with a stock rack before! I must say, the first time I sneezed while driving on it, the car swerved into the other lane a little. Kinda funny.

                  I enjoy my Z3 rack. On the highway, particularly when it's windy, I would say it's twitchy. Otherwise the perfect ratio, especially for autox.

                        Ah. It's still very twitchy compared to stock :D
