steering rack swap

[artiles]

Hi I'm about to change the steering rack on my E30 320i for a Z3 steering rack for a quicker turn but don't know which Tie Rods ends I have to use, the E30 originals ones or the Z3????? they look different to me but would like to know before order them. Thanks

Most people (if not upgrading to bigger brakes) stick with e30 trackrods. Get Lemforder ones. Usually cheapest from CP4L.

Have read.. It's all in here.

Thanks I'll have a look but yes, I'll get bigger brakes so what you reckon then ?? I'll be using 312 mm discs and 4 pot calipers. Now will the Z3 rod end fit the e30 lower suspension where the cone joint goes??

Thats as far as my knowledge goes on this I'm afraid, hopefully one of the more higher calibrated members shall come along soon and fill the blanks in for you.

I though you used the e30 bits to give you more space for brakes I'm using the 067 e46 rack with e30 inner and outer tie rods with the corrado 280mm disc and mazda calipers the dust cover is close to the disc but it dose clear.
