Looking to do a rack conversion on my e30. Just checking there are not any more parts I will need

-New rack
-Power steering lines
-e30 track rod ends

Also any more information on what rack to go for. I am currently favouring the Z3 rack due to the rack being linear.

thanks

You may as well change the whole tie rod assembly's, not just the ends.

Lemforder are available from ECP, you need 2 of part number 605110105. :D

Is that just to save me having to pull it all out again to renew the rest of the tie rod assembly in a couple of years time or is it a benefit now as well? I suppose your right, For that price I might as well do it properly once.
