Not quite an E30 question, but I think people may be able to help...

I have a 525tds, however I find that the handling is compromised by the flexibility in the front suspension and the steering!
Anybody has any ideas on how this could be improved?

Also is it possible to get faster steering boxes for these cars?

Saw someone fit coilovers to an E34 525tds to improve handling.
